Junior high photography students were excited to have class outside today as they begin working with cameras, and getting comfortable handling the equipment. Students worked in teams to complete a 'photo scavenger hunt'.

This week, students tackled a full-year pre-test to give us a roadmap of everything we'll be learning this school year! I was so impressed by how much background knowledge they already have tucked away. Pre-tests show us where we start so we can celebrate how far we grow—and this group is set up for an incredible year ahead!

1st TextBook Tuesday of the year!
2nd day of school and we are into curriculum. I have found that most Freshmen and Sophomores do not like TextBook Tuesdays, but upper classmen appreciate the relaxed assignment.
When talking with former students, that are adults, in the real world, they would love to come back to High School and do a TextBook Tuesday instead of "adulting".
TextBook Tuesdays are where test questions come from, so the information is available even if a student is not in class, this helps with those that play sports.
Here's to a great 26/27 school year!

The Arizona Healthy Schools Act (HB 2164) takes effect for the 2026–2027 school year, banning specific additives and synthetic dyes in public school meals.

The restrictions apply to all school-provided food—including cafeterias, vending machines, and classroom treats—from midnight until 30 minutes after school ends. Home-packed lunches are excluded - students cannot share or trade.
