Behind the scenes at our Writing, Design, and Presentation class!
Our students are stepping into the shoes of investigative journalists today, interviewing staff members to gather the stories, quotes, and perspectives that will bring their classroom newspaper to life.




What an incredible night celebrating excellence! Huge congratulations to our Top 25 students and teachers honored at last night’s Achievement Dinner. Your dedication, hard work, and passion truly inspire us all.





“I Belong” isn’t just a theme—it’s a feeling. Huge shoutout to these two students for capturing the essence of belonging through their incredible Reflections pieces.



Our Algebra students are switching up the pace with “Speed Dating” today! They had a few minutes to tackle a problem with a partner, share strategies, and find the solution before rotating to the next challenge.
Fast-paced, collaborative, and full of problem-solving energy!

It's not just for show, this genetic glow-up helps researchers track how cells move.




Our young authors showcased months of research and storytelling. From the Great Depression to the Fight for Independence, these students didn't just study history—they lived it through their characters.
We are so proud of their hard work and creativity.






From the free-throw line to the stratosphere, math is the hidden engine of motion! Every time you sink a shot, you’re actually graphing a quadratic function. Gravity acts as a constant downward pull, turning a simple toss into a perfect parabola.
