Ms. Derousie’s biology students are hard at work preparing for the upcoming EOC! After completing their quiz, students jumped right into targeted review—finalizing EOC notecards, studying key concepts for next week’s mock EOC, and using their time productively to stay ahead. This kind of structured, intentional preparation is exactly what helps our students build confidence and master the content. We love seeing the focus and dedication as they continue working toward success! #PanthersRISE

On Tuesday, some of our students had the powerful opportunity to hear from Holocaust speakers who shared deeply personal family histories. Both speakers spoke about their grandparents’ experiences as Holocaust survivors, bringing history to life in a way that textbooks simply cannot.
Through these stories, students gained a deeper understanding of resilience, courage, and the importance of remembering the past. Experiences like this help our students not only learn history but also connect with it, ensuring that these voices and lessons are never forgotten. #PanthersRISE

Our world history students had the opportunity to engage in a meaningful, impactful learning experience by exploring a traveling Holocaust cattle-car exhibit and accompanying displays. Through scheduled small-group presentations in the cattle car, students experienced history in a powerful, personal way, while additional artifacts in the nearby classroom allowed for continued reflection and learning throughout the day. This experience helped bring their studies to life and deepened their understanding of the human impact of historical events.

A special thank you to Ms. Ryan, whose effort and coordination made this experience possible for our students. Because of her dedication, our students were able to connect classroom learning to real-world history in ways that foster empathy, awareness, and lasting perspective. #PanthersRISE
