Class of 2026 and 2027 met this week with our school counselors and work-based learning coordinator to review course requests, select/prioritize electives and log into Naviance to create/update their resume. Reminder: if you have not done so already, get involved inside and outside of school (and note it on your resume).
Our High School Varsity Debate Team crushed it at the last tournament of the regular season with juniors Angel Morales and Daniel Shotkin winning first place. Each of our captains also brought home a speaker trophy - Angel won the tournaments' third-place speaker award and Daniel won the award for second-place speaker of the day. While we are sad to see the regular season end, it has been our best one yet!! Our team is working diligently in anticipation of next Friday's championship tournament. GO CARDS!!
