Speech and Debate Team (a.k.a Forensics) 

Are you one of those people who groans when the teacher says you have to do a presentation in front of the class? Or are you the most outspoken person in the room? Either way, The Speech and Debate Team (a.k.a. Forensics - but not the crime scene kind) has something for you! We will be meeting on Thursday September 12 in room 231 right after school for anyone who is interested (new  or  returning students). No experience is needed! Come find out what we have to offer at this general meeting. Let us help you become the best version of yourself! Contact Mrs. Hartranft ( [email protected] ) for more information.

College Application Boot Camp    

 The first session of bootcamp has commenced and we are proud to 

share the feedback received by the students and parents!

Session Two: August 20-22

Testimonials:

"It was well worth it because of the quick feedback we received, no waiting for an answer to important questions regarding the College Application process." A. Meyer

"It was a beneficial experience as I gained insight into the application process of college and finished the majority of the process, most notably finishing the entire common application." R. Meyer

"Overall, this has been a great experience. When I first told the boys that I enrolled them, I did get some push back but this week they have been energized by the process and it has opened up discussions with them that they were previously resistant to. Also, I cannot tell you how many nagging hours and arguments this has saved me by having the common app, essays and resumes and  recommendation requests. Invaluable!" - Parent

"The course keeps you focused on applying and the counselors work hands on with you throughout the entire process. Something that would have taken hours or days got done almost immediately." Z. Hughes

"The counselors made the experience a very simple process. They were extremely helpful and made the entire process better" - S. Meyer

Please email Mrs. Bogart at [email protected]

may be adding more sessions for the month of August.
