Student Council members gathered for the annual Leadership Retreat last week. They met for several hours across multiple sessions to plan ahead for this school year.  We have a strong group of dedicated, ambitious leaders looking forward to a great year!

Mrs. Kaiser-Munday's AP Human Geography class bonded over putting together the National Geographic Winkle-Tripel Map! It took each class just around 20 minutes, and we were able to talk about map distortion.

AP World History classes created timelines of what they know before we dive into the material! The students were able to put down people, events, and materials. They had insight and had a lot to share with one another!
