Building future leaders, one assignment at a time! 🌍 Our Honors World History students spent the last week preparing a model United Nations simulation. After days of research and prep, the students stepped into the role of 1976 UN delegates, discussing the mock UN's potential response to the Soweto Riots. Exciting to see them put their critical thinking and collaborative skills into action!

Bravo to our BSA Theatre seniors! 🎭 They had an amazing time performing The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee in Cranleigh, England, with Showdown Theatre Arts. As the culmination of their training, this annual international collaboration gives students real-world experience in working with another ensemble overseas. Congratulations to the full cast and crew on a fantastic production!

A huge congratulations to BSA Voice sophomore Cailey Jones on being named a finalist in the 2026 Schmidt Vocal Artist Awards, a prestigious national competition for emerging classical vocalists! 🎤 Your dedication and artistry continue to inspire us, and we couldn’t be prouder.
