Election

Today, our middle school and high school students participated in a mock election to practice voting. They filled out their ballots and dropped them into an official ballot box, getting a real sense of the voting process. Now, they’re eagerly awaiting the election results! Such a great way to learn about civic responsibility!

Happy Halloween

The students had a morning filled with Halloween fun at school! They dressed in costumes to parade around school and then outside to the trunk or treat. Thank you to all the families, friends, and community members that came to hand out candy!

Freshman Class Fundraiser

Mark your calendars for this great fundraiser event! Support the Freshman class at Candlelight Inn in Rock Falls, IL on Wednesday, November 20th from 5:00pm to 8:00pm.

Chem Lab

The students are doing a Separations Lab as they learn about chemical and physical properties of elements in mixtures!

Computer Science Class

The 10th grade students took on a fun and creative challenge that combined critical thinking with hands-on learning. Each group was tasked with building a small arrangement of LEGO bricks. But here’s the twist: they then had to write clear, step-by-step instructions for a classmate to recreate that exact arrangement—without showing them the original! It was a great way to practice communication, problem-solving, and attention to detail!
