It allows juniors and seniors to gather information on prospective colleges, universities, military opportunities, financial aid and learn more about the resources available for students with disabilities.


📸 Art meets emotion!
Mr. Green’s AP Art 2-D Design students explored how photography can capture human feelings.
Classmates posed to express seven different emotions — anger, contempt, disgust, enjoyment, fear, sadness, and surprise — while photographers focused on setting, lighting, and mood to bring each one to life.
Such a powerful way to combine creativity and technique! 🎨

Last week our psychology students put their creativity to work by making Brain Hats! Each section represents a different lobe or structure of the brain, helping them learn how form connects to function. This hands-on activity made neuroscience both fun and memorable!
