Also, we will have vehicles on standby for anyone needing to return to their vehicle at any time.

The English hallway has turned into an art gallery!
Ninth graders in Mrs. Allene Cornelius's English classes were inspired by the words of Isaac Asimov: “Engineering is the art of the possible. It is applying skill and creative thinking to solving the world’s biggest challenges.”
First students were given an image that only depicted seemingly random lines and shapes. Then they created their own vision that emerged from the original drawing. Their work can be seen below...
Such creativity and talent on display!
