Today, we awarded the 14th annual Master Dragon award to English teacher, Jess Norris. Students were asked to nominate a teacher or staff member who is dedicated, motivated, professional, and exhibits school spirit. Miss Norris exemplifies dedication, motivation, professionalism, and school spirit in everything she does, making her a truly deserving recipient of the Master Dragon award. #dragonpride

2D Art students are diving into paper quilling this week—transforming simple strips of paper into intricate shapes and forms. By carefully arranging and layering their designs, they add color, and depth to their drawings in a creative, hands-on way that brings their work to life.

Be sure to come out and support our Tennis Seniors tonight, as they take on East Peoria on Senior Night!

Last week, the Animal Science class had the opportunity to tour Raber's Packing Co. in West Peoria. It was a terrific lab to end the animal/meat processing unit on! #Teach Ag
