Our Summer Travel Retrospective is Back for a Third Year!
This showcase encourages students and teachers to take photographs throughout the summer while traveling. As long as you leave town, you can participate. Photos from local destinations, such as NYC, LBI and Maine are very popular. It's always fun to see your European visits and beyond. In early September images will be compiled and share via a digital showcase. Some of the best images may even make a spread in the upcoming 2023 HS Yearbook!
As we like to say in our program, "You gotta be in it to win it." Happy travels - don't forget your camera!
The Class of 2022 Dedicated Their Yearbook to Officer Roberts
