A special tradition and a meaningful moment 💙❤️💛🤍 At our Compass Installation, the 8th grade students officially passed the torch to the 7th grade class, welcoming them as the next Compass leaders. Through excellence, service, responsibility, and spirituality, these students help guide and support our community. We are so proud of our outgoing leaders and excited to see the 7th grade class step into this important role!

Eighth grade, you did it! 🎓 From your first day of school, you’ve shown up, grown up, and now you’re moving up, ready for high school and everything ahead. We’re so proud of all you’ve accomplished, Class of 2026! 💙💛

Smiles, signatures, and memories that will last a lifetime! Students gathered in their Compass Circles to celebrate the school year, sign yearbooks, and reflect on all the moments that made this year so special. From inside jokes to heartfelt messages, every page tells a story!

From field to fork! 🥬🚜 Students visited the Taylor Farms Packaging Plant to learn what happens to crops after harvest and why keeping produce cool is so important for freshness. Inside the plant, they watched food being chopped, rinsed, and packaged for distribution. The experience came full circle with a visit to a nearby Bengard field, where they saw Romaine lettuce being harvested firsthand. It was an incredible opportunity to see the full journey of food from the field to consumers’ tables!
