AP Human Geo students will take that test on Tuesday, May 6. They will take the ELA/Reading test on make-up day, Wednesday, May 7, a regular bell schedule day.

🦁Roaring with Creativity!🦒
Mrs. Carroll's Creative Writing class had the incredible opportunity to attend the Immersive Storytelling Workshop at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Surrounded by exotic animals and lush landscapes, students collaborated to explore innovative, non-traditional Disney-style storytelling that engages the senses and captures the attention of diverse audiences. No doubt our students
gathered inspiration for poems, short stories, and even a few fantasy adventures of their own; and we can't wait to read them!

"From a young age, Tommy has always been kind, caring, and determined," proud mom Kayla shared. "Quick to crack a joke, laugh out loud, or sit and listen, he makes a difference in the lives of those he meets on a regular basis. He works hard at everything he puts his hands to - whether that be in the classroom, at home, bowling, repairing bicycles, detailing cars, or building custom closets. Tommy has committed to attend Florida Southern College as a pioneer in their brand-new Architecture program. There just simply are not enough words to express how proud of him we are!"
"Our family would like to give a special shout-out to Mr. Power," Kayla continued. "Thank you instilling a love of drafting and design in Tommy, and thank you for the wonderful doors of opportunity you have helped open for him. We appreciate you more than you could ever know!"
