We clinched our 2nd and 3rd championships of the year. We have much gratitude for our parents, coaches, and our fantastic athletic director for fostering such a positive culture—though, the winning part is undeniably fantastic too!

Seventh graders are diving headfirst into challenging academics across the board. They're not just studying— they're conquering real-world challenges in our STEM program's virtual city, Futura. Meanwhile, in our humanities class, they're weaving together art, poetry, and history seamlessly. Our students? They're not just learning; they're owning it!

Campus Safety → Leaving Campus for Ice Cream
Details:
Once school is out, students participating in after-school activities should remain on campus without leaving and returning. We've observed some students going across the street to the ice cream truck and then returning to study hall or office hours. This is not allowed. Additionally, we've noticed Leading Edge students occasionally opening gates for their friends. It's important to remember that PFAA is still in session, and we need to maintain a closed campus.
