On this February 16, we reflect on the history of the American presidency and the leaders who have guided our country through its most defining moments. It’s a day to honor the office and the enduring principles of leadership and service.

Today, we recognize the vital role they play in fostering a secure and supportive atmosphere in our schools. Please join us in showing them some appreciation! 👮♂️🤝👮♀️

Earlier this week our Food & Nutrition students assisted at the Thensted Center Holiday Luncheon, helping serve meals to veterans and seniors with warmth, care, and professionalism. They practiced teamwork and community leadership while supporting a meaningful event — a wonderful example of service learning in action. Thank you to the Thensted Center for inviting us and to our students for giving their time and compassion.

Students read Black Like Me by John Griffin and engaged in a deep, respectful conversation about empathy, perspective, and social justice. Their thoughtful reflections showed curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to listen and learn from one another.
Thank you to Mrs. Guillory and all the students who participated — your thoughts and contributions were truly appreciated.
