A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO APR SEPTEMBER STUDENT OF THE MONTH
CONGRATULATIONS
What a great example of a 9th grader! Focused, takes action, and gets stuff done! She really just seems to know what's up.
10TH GRADE - MARION MITCHELL
Marion works very hard and tries his best at everything he does. In both of the classes I have him for, I can always depend on him to participate, discuss, pay attention, collaborate, and complete assignments. Marion also goes out of his way to show that he cares for his friends.
11TH GRADE - ASHIA FRANKLIN-COSBY
Ashia is an exemplary student! Despite being "quiet'" she stands out for being dedicated, hard-working, and kind. It's hard to miss how much she rules.
12TH GRADE - KAYLA BRYANT
This student has been very helpful with getting the school started from orientation, day 1 and continues to support faculty and staff when the opportunity presents itself.
