Our students have been hard at work and learning in so many ways:
🧠 Sophomores took the Pre-ACT — getting a head start on college readiness!
💪 Students participated in the ASVAB to explore future career pathways.
🔬 8th graders enjoyed a hands-on STEM field trip full of discovery and innovation.
💛 And most students grades 6-12 took part in the 4Keeps Suicide Prevention Program, focusing on mental health, awareness, and support.
Admission: $4 Adult, $2 Student 60+ free, but No Passes CASH ONLY

Our school is committed to supporting the mental health and well-being of all students. As part of this effort, we will be hosting a Suicide Prevention Program on 11/12 to educate students about recognizing warning signs, finding support, and promoting hope.
If you prefer that your student does not attend, please contact Ms. Aragon for more information or to opt out.
Together, we can help ensure that every student knows they are not alone — help is always available.
