Our final celebration of the school year! 🎉

Last week, our CNA students, led by Mrs. Carolyn Gauen, celebrated their pinning ceremony—a milestone recognizing their hard work, dedication, and commitment to healthcare.

We are incredibly proud of these students and thankful to our partners at Westminster Village North for helping train the next generation of healthcare professionals.

Congratulations, graduates! We can’t wait to see the difference you’ll make in the lives of others. 💙🩺

Congratulations to our Teacher of the Year: Claudia Heck and our Classified Staff of they Year: Anthony Sargent.
Coming Soon.... to a High School Auditorium near you 😜

The excellence just keeps coming! 🎉

100% — YES, all of them! — of our Criminal Justice seniors led by Mr. Jason Glover passed and officially became licensed 911 dispatchers! 🚔📞

This is an incredible accomplishment, and we couldn’t be more proud of their hard work, dedication, and commitment to serving others.

Congratulations to each and every one of you on this amazing achievement! 👏

Congratulations to our Entrepreneurship students on an amazing accomplishment in the recent pitch competition! 👏

Cameron Dixon, Kiptyn Geier, and Henry Stayte earned one of only three winning spots among Warren, New Castle, and MCIT with their business idea, the Circle City Baseball Clinic. ⚾

The team received $1,000, mentorship opportunities with INNOPOWER, and the chance to pitch again next week to potential investors and mentors. We are so proud of them!

Congratulations to our Senior Software Development students for a job well done on their capstone projects!

From the very first line of code, these students developed original game concepts, researched and designed their ideas, and brought them to life through coding and creativity.

A special thank you to their teacher, Ms. Abril Zaragoza Palos, for her guidance and dedication throughout the process. We are so proud of all they accomplished! 💻👾
