Announcements

10/31/2019 - We have the official brain bee competition date! The competition will be on Thursday, February 13th from 5:00 pm to 9:30 PM. It will be at Midwestern University. I'll send out more information as the date gets closer. remember to come in before or after school on Wednesdays to study and earn extra points!


9/23/2019 - Sorry guys for the mix up on the quizlet sets, that was an unfortunate mistake. Now, the quizlets from the old book have the word "[OLD]" in front of them to make sure you don't get them mixed up. These are not mandatory to study, but may provide some handy information. The Chapter 2&3 Test has been postponed and will be on the 26th and 27th of September. Thank you all for understanding- after all, the officers and sponsor of last year's group had to be replaced, and we are all just trying our best to figure this out. Hopefully, things will be smooth sailing from here and on!
