Our ninth-grade students recently took part in our annual Commitment to Graduate Ceremony. Each student signed a white graduation gown as a symbol of their commitment to graduate high school. When they are seniors, they will vote on a teacher to wear the special gown at their graduation ceremony. They also received a Class of 2030 T-shirt, certificate, and bracelet to remind them of the importance of the commitment they made.
Commitment to Graduate is a high school-wide initiative organized through our School Counseling Department to keep graduation and student success in focus from day one.
A special thank you to Echols Family Connection for sponsoring the gifts and refreshments and helping make this day special for our students!

Our Physical Science students put their speed to the test in the Speed Olympics! Students raced in different events, tracked their times, analyzed their data, and used their results to determine who was truly the Speed Olympian! 🥇

Today, Biology students became birds! They used different types of “beaks” to demonstrate natural selection. Students collected data, analyzed their results, created graphs, and wrote conclusions based on their evidence.
A fun, hands on way to see how certain traits can give organisms an advantage in their environment!
Which bird will survive?
