Encourge healthy habits and make sure you're checking PowerSchool and the school website for updates.

Taste of Forensics 2026 is officially in the books!
Our performers brought the laughs, the drama, and even a few happy tears (right on cue!). We are so proud of the team for not only giving fantastic performances, but also for waiting tables and helping with cleanup. You all made the night run smoothly and shine from start to finish.
Huge thank-yous to Owens Originals for the beautiful flowers and to our horticulture class for arranging them and making the tables look amazing. Thank you as well to our wonderful forensics parents for providing the delicious desserts!
It was truly a great night, and we can’t wait to take 10 of our team members to the State Champs Meet next Saturday. Let’s cheer them on!

Our 7th- grade life science class had a special visitor today --- Loki, the border collie. Students had a blast learning about the genetics of coat color, seeing real life, examples of dominant and recessive traits in action. Loki helped us explore how traits are inherited, and why certain coat patterns appear the way they do. We also had thoughtful discussions about the ethics of dog breeding --- especially how responsible breeding practices can help reduce the risk of deafness and other genetic conditions. What a fun, engaging day of science with a four legged teacher!

Hayden made a nice wall map of Europe for a wall hanging. He hand-burned it all with a wood-burning tool. Hayden will be going to Europe this summer and will mark the places he goes on his wooden map. Good job, Hayden!

Jonathan is the lathe meister, and he has logged many hours on the wood lathe, and it shows. Here he is pictured with a couple of quality bowls he turned. Good job, Jonathan!
