So proud of our Firebirds who are attending the medical camp at Frye Regional, which is offered to CCS students. Students learned how to suture on a pig's foot and dissected a pig heart with Dr. Brett Starr, cardiovascular surgeon.

Today, Dr. Spry, Ms. Sever, Ms. Guyer, and Ms. Kale had the opportunity to present at the Early College Summit, highlighting the innovative work happening at Challenger Early College High School through our PAA, Connections, and MTSS models.

From building meaningful relationships and removing barriers to learning, to creating systems of support that help every student thrive, we were proud to share the practices that make Challenger such a special place to learn and grow. We are so proud of our school and our mission.

Challenger Brings Home National Medals!

We are incredibly proud of our students who represented Challenger at the SkillsUSA National Leadership & Skills Conference and brought home national medals! Congratulations to our Entrepreneurship Team — D. Patel, R. Land, X. Springs, and K. Harrington — for earning a Silver Medal and showcasing their innovation, teamwork, and entrepreneurial spirit on the national stage. A special congratulations to A. Sullivan for earning a Silver Medal in Prepared Speech, demonstrating exceptional communication skills and confidence in competition. These outstanding accomplishments are a testament to the hard work, dedication, and talent of our students and the support of their teachers, families, and mentors. We could not be prouder of the way they represented Challenger and our school community!

Fun at the Aquarium, Six Flags, and the Hunger Games Mansion! A lot of hard work deserves a lot of fun! Our students enjoyed adventure, learning, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime. From exploring the wonders of marine life at the aquarium, to thrilling rides at Six Flags, to stepping into the world of the Hunger Games mansion, it was fun well-earned and well-deserved. We are proud of all they have accomplished this year and excited to celebrate their success together!

SkillsUSA Nationals! Go Braves!
