Career Day is off to a fantastic start, thanks to many outstanding parent and community volunteers! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to share about your careers. We love opportunities for students to explore the possibilities of a bright future! 💙🌟#brightfuture
Bravo!!!🎵Our talented choirs filled the high school halls with the sound of music tonight. The show was terrific, from Elton John to Katy Perry's chart-topping melodies, to the bravery of our very own vocalists. 🎤The joy of performance was evident, and each choir beamed under the direction of Mrs. Clare Yurasek. Well done! #takeabow
Career Day is tomorrow, and we are so excited! 🥳 It's a great opportunity for students to learn about CTE courses in high school as well as learn from the many professionals who graciously volunteer to spend their day with teenagers. 🙏🏻 Since we won't have traditional classes tomorrow, we're asking that all students leave their backpacks at home. 🚫🎒We'll also have a concession stand, so be sure to bring cash if you'd like to purchase snacks throughout the day. 💙🦅🍿#careerday2023
