It’s been a historic season for our NHS team, taking 1st Place in their first regional and 2nd in their second regional. Their expert design knowledge and clear communication also impressed the judges to earn the coveted Quality award and the Engineering Inspiration award!
The team is headed to the District Championship in Petersburg this week to compete against the top 54 teams in Virginia, Maryland, and DC for a spot at the World Championships in Houston. 🚀
We are so proud of your innovation and hard work! Best of luck to Team 1908 - we're cheering for you! 🎉
As we continue our leadership celebrations this week, we want to shine a spotlight on Erica Quintana, QUEST Program Administrator.
Erica’s passion and guidance are what make her the "Heart of QUEST." We are so grateful for her leadership and the incredible impact she makes on our students and community every day!

April is National School Library Month, a time to recognize the vital role our school libraries play in supporting student learning, curiosity, and growth. 📚
School libraries are more than just places to check out books. They are welcoming spaces where students build research skills, explore new ideas, and develop a lifelong love of reading.
Our librarians and library staff partner with teachers to support classroom instruction, guide students in finding reliable information, and foster creativity and critical thinking.
Huge thanks to our librarians for supporting student growth and curiosity every day. 💫
