Writing great essays starts with writing great sentences! ✍️ Mrs. Johnson’s 9th graders had a fun little competition building sentences with verb phrases. 🎉 While chatting about their sentences, they realized some action verbs don’t always act like verbs. 🤔 The most common one today? The gerund — an -ing verb that actually works like a noun! 📝✨




Homecoming Week is just around the corner, and we’re kicking things off in style! Each day will have a fun theme, so start planning your outfits and show off your school spirit. 💙
Let's make this the most spirited Homecoming yet! 💥🔥

Building Skills Beyond the Torch 🔧
Instructor Caitlin Wells and our SRTC dual enrollment welding students are taking responsibility for their new shop space by assisting with tool inventory, equipment relocation, and shop organization.
These activities are more than clean-up tasks—they’re important lessons in how to create and maintain a safe, efficient, and functional welding environment. Developing these habits early will serve them well as they prepare for future careers in the skilled trades.

👨🍳 Special shoutout to Elijah Mccarver, who brought home 2nd place in the Catering Competition! Way to go, Elijah!
None of this would have been possible without the incredible support from our community and contributions of our teachers — giving their time, printing materials, and donating supplies.
