Guest Speaker Days

The guest speaker schedule has been confirmed for the rest of the school year. The first Wednesday of each month 9th grade students will participate in the Speaker Series and the second Wednesday of every month the 10th grade students will participate in the Speaker Series. Each Guest Speaker session is followed by a smaller informative "Lunch Box Talk" of approximately 20 students who participated and were engaged throughout the Speaker Session. These are great opportunities to practice networking and to learn more about opportunities available in the Energy Industry.

In order to put our best foot forward for our guest speakers please remember that students are expected to dress professionally on Guest Speaker days.

Schedule Change Requests

Students will report to their Sync class tomorrow morning to receive a copy of their second semester schedule. Students will attend class periods 1 through 6 tomorrow. If a student has schedule concerns they must submit a Schedule Change Request Form to their Dean by

Tuesday, January 13th. You can access the form through the link above or pick up a copy in the main office.

The collected jeans will be donated to a local shelter for youth who do not have jeans to wear during the cold winter months. Our student goal this year is to collect 300 or more pairs of jeans, beating our collection from last year of 130 pairs of jeans. Our school donation numbers will be entered into the national competition allowing us to earn prizes for Energy! Get a jump start on spring cleaning and donate now!
