National Signing Day Event

Today, we celebrated National College Signing Day!
To honor all of our students' post-secondary plans, every senior was invited to the school counseling office during a half-hour window to sign and decorate their personalized pennant. We had balloons, admissions counselors were invited, and everyone had a great time! Click through the slideshow below to see how proud our seniors are, and try to zoom in to see how much fun they had decorating their pennants.

To see the list of all of the colleges that have admitted our seniors recently, see our regularly-updated google doc. Note that the class of 2016 has surpassed their predecessors in the number and diversity of colleges!
Next up: May 23 awards program at 6pm, and then June 2 commencement!
Congratulations to everyone!

With school-age expectations continuing to improve, students are going to need more and more academic, personal, and social preparation for school at an early age. Early childhood educators are experts in child development and educational principles in order to assist small children transition from homebound care to the primary elementary grades. They use numerous theories and techniques to bring young children to be school-ready. Becoming an early childhood educator requires a bachelor's degree, as opposed to a child care worker, which requires less coursework.
