What does a hero look like in today's world?
Ms. Germann's seniors explored that question by researching a social or global issue and creating an original modern-day hero to address it. From environmental concerns to social challenges, students combined research, creativity, and critical thinking to imagine heroes who could make a real impact.
As part of our hero stories unit, students learned that heroes have been inspiring societies for centuries. These stories give us hope, motivate us to overcome obstacles, and remind us that one person can make a difference.

Our Information Technology students have been hard at work tearing down, troubleshooting, repairing, and rebuilding PCs in the lab!
There's a big difference between learning how a computer works in a textbook and actually getting your hands inside one. Our students are gaining real-world experience identifying components, diagnosing problems, and developing the technical skills they'll use in the IT industry.
