It’s been two weeks since the Beyond 12 Summer Program came to campus!

The two day program invited 50 rising 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students to campus for a hands-on exploration of career pathways and interests. Take a look back at what our students were up to!

Thank you to the campus and community partners that participated in Beyond 12 programming. Beyond 12 is made possible through the generous support of Glaxo Smith Kline.
