Game On for Healthy Choices! 🎲
At the Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) Conference, our students teamed up to design an interactive, informative board game for our health classes 🧠💡. Along the way, they sharpened team-building, leadership, and collaboration skills—proving that learning can be both meaningful and fun!
So proud of our students for turning creativity into impact. 👏👏👏

Celebration, culture, and connection - a wonderful trifecta!
Our Advanced Placement African American Studies students celebrated #Kwanzaa by learning about the seven principles, relating them to course studies, and coming together for a Kwanzaa feast. Altogether - a truly special way to honor history, values, and community.

Congratulations to the newest members of our Rho Kappa (Social Studies) Honor Society! 📚
Inductees: you’ve officially proven that knowing the past, understanding the present, and shaping the future is kind of your thing.
Again, welcome to the society—history just got even smarter. 🌎 ✨
