Members of the sophomore class had an amazing experience visiting the Bridging Communities Regional Career and Technical Center! Students got an inside look at hands-on programs, cutting-edge labs, and real-world career pathways that turn interests into opportunities. 🔧💻👩‍⚕️

From skilled trades to health sciences and technology, this field trip helped students see how classroom learning connects to future careers — and sparked excitement about what’s possible after high school!

A big thank you to Dr. Ellis and the staff at Bridging Communities for welcoming us and inspiring our students. The future is bright! 🌟🎓

Our Health & Medical Exploration students wrapped up their Skeletal System unit by creating pretzel skeletons! Using different pretzel shapes to represent bones, students showed their understanding of how the skeleton works and fits together. Hands-on activities like this make learning fun, engaging, and memorable!
