| | This week's Academic Spotlight is on Sophia Leintz who was nominated by her math teacher, Mrs. Augustine. Sophia is an outstanding member of the IB Math class whose curiosity and dedication consistently stand out. Not only does she have innately strong math skills, she approaches the content with both confidence and a genuine desire to deeply understand the processes behind what is discussed. Rather than simply looking for answers, she asks thoughtful questions that push discussions further and strengthen the learning environment for everyone around her. She also makes excellent use of technology like Desmos and graphing calculators to enhance her understanding and explore mathematical ideas in greater depth. Her combination of talent, work ethic, and intellectual curiosity has made her highly successful in an extremely rigorous and higher-level math course. | April Students of the Month | Congratulations to our April Students of the Month! | Senior Yearbook Breakfast | Let the senior events begin!
