A huge thank you to Marquis Energy for supporting another semester of our Storm Tracker Mentoring Program! This program pairs students with a mentor in the building, where they work together to develop and achieve two SMART goals. Throughout the semester, our mentees make meaningful progress toward these goals with the guidance and encouragement of their mentors.

This semester, we were fortunate to have 30 mentors serving 41 mentees, shattering our record for student involvement in a single semester! It’s inspiring to see the thoughtful goals our mentors and mentees create as students strive to become the best version of themselves.

To celebrate their hard work and dedication, we held our 2nd semester luncheon on Friday to honor both our mentors and mentees. We’re proud of all they’ve accomplished and grateful for the continued support that makes this program possible!

The Child Care students wrapped up the year with their final bulletin boards! Each group got to choose a theme of their choice, and they truly showed off their creativity. They went above and beyond with their designs, and the results were amazing. Great job to all of these talented students on ending the year with such creative and eye-catching bulletin boards!

Public Speaking students recently put their interviewing skills into action through mock interviews. Students crafted resumes, practiced professionalism, and interpersonal communication skills. Thank you to Mr. Price and Mr. Oetzel for helping the students prepare, and to Officer Roush and Ms. Schoff for conducting interviews in career fields that reflect our students' interests.
