Earlier this week, our AP Physics students put their knowledge to the test -literally! Using the principles of physics, students designed and built cardboard boats before taking them to the water to see if they would float…and survive the wind! With strong winds making the challenge even tougher, 3 out of 5 teams successfully made it across! It was an awesome hands-on lesson in teamwork, problem-solving, engineering, and perseverance.

Our 9th grade students had a great time at the MiCareerQuest Career this week! This hands-on experience gave students the opportunity to explore a wide variety of careers, interact with professionals, and learn about future education and career pathways. From skilled trades and healthcare to technology and public service, students were able to see so many exciting possibilities for their future. It was an engaging and inspiring day, and we are grateful for the opportunity to help our students connect classroom learning with real-world careers!

Congratulations to our group of AutoDesk Certified users!

Some students earned certifications in both Inventor and some in AutoCAD, showcasing their technical skills, dedication, and hard work throughout the year. We’re proud of all they’ve accomplished and excited to see how they continue to grow.

Great work, everyone! 👏

Last week’s Annual Art Show was a great celebration of creativity from our Art 3, Art 4, and AP Art students. One of the best parts of the show was the incredible variety of artistic expression on display. Each work reflected the unique perspective and voice of its artist. The talent, creativity, and hard work our students put into their artwork was evident throughout the entire exhibit. We are proud of all of our students for sharing their creativity and passion!

Today was one of those moments that reminds you how powerful community can be. In a full gym, Zoey won a car! Watching her reaction of joy and gratitude brought many of us to tears. Thank you Rynberg's Car Company for your generous donation of a car. We have many more pictures to share from an amazing RP Pride Day, but couldn't wait to share this moment.

Our Health Education classes partnered with the STATS program to learn about the health risks and side effects of nicotine, marijuana, and alcohol through hands on activities.

The Spring Band Concert did not disappoint. The show was a beautiful display of excellence. Talent, hard work, passion, and connection came together to create an amazing experience. Great job Jazz Band, Symphony Band, and Wind Ensemble!

Wow! Our students were amazing in the Pops Concert tonight. There was so much talent, skill, and bravery. What a performance!

Happy Earth Day!

Today, our biology classes traded in their desks for gloves and trash bags as they worked together to clean up our school campus. It was amazing to see their teamwork and dedication to making a difference right here in our own community!

Trash doesn’t just “go away.” When litter is left behind, it can:
• Harm wildlife who may ingest or get tangled in it
• Pollute our soil and water systems
• Break down into microplastics that enter the food chain
• Take years, or even centuries. to decompose

By taking action today, our students are learning that even small efforts can have a big impact on protecting our environment.

We are so proud of these students for stepping up, getting their hands dirty, and showing what it means to care for the planet we all share. 🌱💚

(Check out the photos to see their hard work in action!)

💚 We are still thrilled from last week's incredible performance of Matilda! 🚀 A huge shout out to the amazing backstage stagecraft team and pit who made the magic happen behind the scenes. From that changes to lighting, props to sound… Your hard work, creativity, and precision brought the entire show to life in ways the audience may not always see, but absolutely feels. 📸 Lighting doesn't always cooperate with great backstage photos, but we wanted to give a shout out to this amazing dedicated and passionate crew.
