Principal's Report
Comet Nation,
As we come to the final month of the 2021-2022 school year, I would like to take an opportunity to thank our students, staff, and families for a tremendous school year. Seeing students excel in the classroom, through athletics, and the fine arts is nothing short of amazing. May is full of memories as well, so please make sure to familiarize yourself with all the great things yet to come and mark your calendars as the end of the year will not disappoint.
Go Comets,
Joe Tellier

Science Department
This week in Ms. Sanchez and Mr. Warner's Forensics classes, students began working on their final projects: Student Created Crime Scenes.
The Crime scenes MUST incorporate many of the topics discussed in the course from throughout the year (i.e. crime scene contamination, evidence collection, hair, DNA, fingerprints, blood spatter, ransom notes, counterfeit money, cause of death & rigor mortis, firearms casing, etc.)
When finished, students will act as forensic experts and "collect" the evidence from their classmates' crime scene, followed by typing a report detailing their expert opinions of what happened.
