Season 3, Episode 3: Learning Beyond the Core

Dr. Youssef Mosallam explores how career connected learning, practical experiences, and elective opportunities help prepare students for life beyond graduation. He is joined by Crestwood High School Principal Roni Abdulhadi, counselors Rola Adoure and Nadine Amen, and teacher Heather Markey. Together, they discuss the importance of helping students explore career pathways, develop real world skills, build confidence, and discover interests that can shape their future. From financial literacy and business focused learning to leadership, communication, and problem solving, this conversation highlights how Crestwood Schools is preparing students for success in an ever changing world.

Locker clean-out day is always full of surprises! 😄

As students emptied their lockers for the summer, staff discovered quite the collection of forgotten treasures—including a Christmas tree, a Muppet, slippers, enough pencils to supply a classroom, and plenty of other unexpected finds.

It's amazing what can accumulate in a locker over the course of a school year! 🔍🎄✏️
