Earlier this week, a team of dedicated educators from across our district traveled to Grand Rapids for the PLC at Work Institute!

They spent three days collaborating with national experts, sharing best practices, and bringing back fresh strategies to help every student thrive this school year. We’re so grateful for a team that never stops learning!

From Brand New Club to National Stage: Hadley Freer Secures 2nd Place at FCCLA Nationals!


What a week it was in Washington, D.C.! We are thrilled to announce that one of our very own students, Hadley Freer, took home second place at the national Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) competition held last week.
Hadley shined on the national stage, competing against the bright minds from across the country in the highly competitive Interpersonal Communications category.
Accompanied by her dedicated advisor, Mrs. Kristina Hernandez, Hadley traveled to the nation's capital to showcase her skills, and her hard work clearly paid off.
What makes this achievement even more incredible is the backstory. FCCLA is a brand-new club at our school, founded just this year by Mrs. Hernandez.
The chapter was launched as an extension of Mrs. Hernandez’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses, specifically integrated into. Early Childhood Education and the Teacher Cadet Program.
To start a program from scratch and guide a student all the way to a second-place national finish in the very first year is nothing short of extraordinary. It speaks volumes about Hadley’s talent and Mrs. Hernandez’s exceptional leadership and mentorship.
Please join us in congratulating Hadley and Mrs. Hernandez on this massive achievement. You have represented our school, our CTE programs, and our community with pride and excellence on the national stage.
