Today, our 8th grade students participated in the Tour of Opportunity, spending the day exploring the many incredible career paths available right here in our county. 🏭💼

We want to give a huge THANK YOU to the PCDC, Ivy Tech, local industries, and businesses who opened their doors, shared their time, and inspired our students. Your support helps our students see the real-world opportunities that await them and encourages them to dream big about their futures.

We’re grateful for the strong partnerships that make experiences like this possible for our students! 🙌👏

💙 Standing United Against Bullying 💙
Yesterday, our school community came together in a powerful way—students and staff proudly wore blue in support of National Bullying Prevention Month. 💪👕💙

This picture captures more than just a sea of blue—it shows our commitment to creating a safe, kind, and inclusive environment for everyone. Let’s continue to lift each other up, speak out against bullying, and be the reason someone feels supported. 💬✨

We would like to extend a big thank you to Crisis Connection for coming down and working with some of our 7th and 8th grade students through the Natural Helpers program.

This powerful program is designed to help students grow as mentors and leaders within their class, with a strong focus on building social-emotional awareness and learning how to support friends in need.

We’re grateful for this opportunity to give our students the tools they need to make a positive impact on their peers and our school community! ❤️👏

🎓 A huge THANK YOU to the University of Evansville for hosting our freshman students last Thursday!

Our students had an amazing experience touring the beautiful campus and getting a glimpse of college life. The highlight of the visit was the opportunity to meet with professors in their specific areas of interest — such a valuable way to explore future possibilities!

We appreciate the warm welcome and the time and effort the UE team put into making this visit meaningful and memorable. 💜

We love our partnership with the community!!
