Health Tip of the Week

Student Pick Up and Drop Off Locations
In the morning, student drop off will be along Sampson Street where students will be able to enter through the gate and main entrance.
Please drop your child off on the school side of the street so they do not have to cross through traffic. 
 
In the afternoon, car pick up is along Jefferson Street only. Students must exit out the end of the sophomore hallway and meet their vehicle on Jefferson Steet. Students will not be allowed to cross Sampson Street to meet vehicles.
Visitor and Parent Parking
Parking for parents and visitors to our campus is parallel parking on Sampson Street.  The only entrance for visitors and parents is our main entrance on Sampson Street.  In order to meet safety and security needs all other doors will be locked.
Official ADA Time
Energy's official ADA time this year is
10:10 AM. 
Please schedule your child's appointments so that he or she is back to school by 10:10 AM or leaves after 10:10 AM. We receive our funding based on attendance at this time. Funding allows us to provide more for your child!

Meet our New Staff Members
We are very excited to introduce Dr. Jody Gibson, our newest addition to the engineering department!

Dr. Gibson brings a wealth of industry and education experience to the Energy community.  He earned his Bachelors of Science in Soil Science from Clemson University and continued on to earn his Masters and PhD in Geosciences and Geology from Penn State University.  Dr. Gibson is passionate about his work with today's youth and hopes that his students "will be experts in sustainability, particularly with respect to water, food, and energy resources. I really hope that the kids acquire a sense of respect for our place in the environment. I would also love it if they could break ground on novel, untested methods for creating biofuels. The sky is the limit!"

In addition to his interest in education, he is an avid traveler, visiting all 50 states and over 25 countries!  To learn more about Dr. Gibson and his Environmental Engineering course visit Dr. Gibson's Weebly.

We are thrilled to have Dr. Gibson join us at Energy!  His passion, interests, and expertise make him a perfect fit for Energy.  Make sure you say hello and welcome him to our Energy family!
