Our Latest Podcast Episode Is Now Available

If you haven't done so already, subscribe to our podcast on iTunes: Otherwise, click here to listen to this week's episode on YouTube . In our latest episode, we explore three student narratives used as personal statements on college applications this year, and examine the process by which students discovered, crafted, and shared their stories with others. With the help of Jay-Z and Maya Angelou, we lay out three pillars for storytelling that not only help students to communicate their backgrounds to audiences, but should be useful to any listener across a broad range of fields.

Collaboration Is Like Forming A Molecule

Picture this... the students in the photo above are each a single atom, yearning to be bonded with something different from them and special so they can together form something new. Enter the molecule we call COLLABORATION. And when it happens in Biology class, it's all the sweeter :)

Check  POWERSCHOOL For Updated Grades...

Grades are updated weekly at CATCH, and we encourage families to check our Powerschool Portal to learn about their child's academic achievement. As we prep students for life in college, knowing one's overall GPA is key.

Senior Smiles :)

Okay Seniors, this is a big week for you. UC acceptance letters are here and many of you are feeling college-ready with 12 more weeks of high school still left. To avoid "Senioritis," make sure to make attendance and homework a top priority. It's easy to get distracted when you're so close to the finish line.
