🥚🚀 Mrs. Donna Jemmison's Capstone Math 12 class took their problem-solving skills to new heights today with an epic Egg Drop Contest! Students designed and built devices to protect their eggs from cracking when dropped from above, aiming for the least weight, smallest size, and closest landing to the target. Mrs. North and Mrs. Dowdy judged the creative contraptions, evaluating both pre- and post-drop success. So much fun watching math and physics come to life! 💡🎯 #EggDropChallenge #STEMFun #CapstoneMath12" #GoDukes

We’re excited to showcase one of the first classes to use our new Extended Learning Area! Library Media Specialist Jessica North teamed up with English Teacher Emily Nunez for an interactive lesson on book genres.
Students kicked off the activity with a quiz to explore their reading interests, then rotated through stations that highlighted different genres. They had the chance to preview books and discover new favorites—making reading fun and engaging!
Our new space is already helping to bring learning to life! 💡✨
