RISE Scholar Spotlight - Responsibility

Ms. Robinson’s Early Childhood 1 students are already putting their learning into practice! While working on their first DCF course, Health, Safety, and Nutrition, students learned how to conduct Daily Health Checks with preschoolers. After a live demonstration, they had the chance to perform their own health checklists—an essential step in ensuring a safe and healthy learning environment for young children. #PanthersRISE

Ms. Fortner’s Pre-IB and Honors Chemistry students dove into a density cube challenge! Using two different methods, they calculated densities to uncover the identity of four mystery cubes. Along the way, they sharpened their lab skills, applied significant figures with precision, and discovered how math and science come together in the lab. #PanthersRISE

RISE Scholar Spotlight - Spirit

Ms. Johnston’s Digital Design 2 students have been sharpening their creative skills by learning how to use one of Illustrator’s most important tools—the pen tool. To prepare, they played the Bezier Game, an interactive online challenge where students trace ghosted outlines of shapes by clicking and dragging to create perfect curves and lines. This activity helped them understand how anchor points and handles work, building the muscle memory needed to move confidently into Illustrator. By simplifying complex shapes into a series of curves and straight lines, students developed a strong foundation in design techniques while also having fun competing to complete the puzzles. #PanthersRISE

RISE Scholar Spotlight - Excellence

Last week, Mrs. Cannarella’s class began exploring the scientific method! Students started with Step 1: Observe and Ask Questions. They carefully examined their hands and generated thoughtful questions such as, “Why do we have fingernails?” and “Why do our hands have lines on them?” Their curiosity sparked discussion and set the stage for scientific thinking. Next, they’ll move on to Step 2: Forming a Hypothesis, as they continue learning how scientists investigate the world around them. #PanthersRISE

Ms. Revis’ AICE European History students brought history to life with an Enlightenment Speed Dating activity! Each student took on the role of a famous philosopher, then paired up for timed rounds of introductions and discussions about their thinker’s key contributions and beliefs. The challenge? To find their “perfect philosophical match” while deepening their understanding of Enlightenment ideas and themes. This creative activity not only made complex content fun and interactive but also strengthened students’ ability to explain and compare the influence of major philosophers. #PanthersRISE

Ms. Ryan’s AICE Psychology students rotated through stations to evaluate the ethics of five well-known psychological studies, identifying which APA ethical standards were not upheld and explaining how and why those violations were problematic. This hands-on activity challenged students to think like psychologists while deepening their understanding of moral responsibilities in research. #PanthersRISE

RISE Scholar Spotlight - Excellence

Special thanks to our Media Specialist, Ms. Pittman, for dedicating time every other Wednesday to read with our Little Paws! This past Wednesday, the students enjoyed listening to We Don’t Eat Our Classmates by Ryan T. Higgins and shared lots of laughs along the way. #PanthersRISE

Mr. Pike’s science students put their lab skills into action by measuring the mass and volume of different substances and using filtration to separate the components of a mixture. Along the way, they practiced proper laboratory etiquette while building essential skills that will support their success in future experiments. #PanthersRISE

Ms. Johnson’s Medical Skills students recently brought their learning to life with skits demonstrating professional vs. unprofessional behavior in healthcare. Focusing on topics like confidentiality, body language, and appearance, students applied what they learned from Chapter 1, through class notes and a video on The Healthcare Worker—to highlight the importance of professionalism in the medical field. #PanthersRISE

Nothing beats the energy of your very first high school pep rally! Our freshmen brought the spirit and made it a day to remember. 💜🐾

Thank you to Ms. Crews, our yearbook sponsor, for sharing this fantastic photo! #PanthersRISE
