Reality Check Day is an opportunity for students to experience the reality of finance, budgeting, income, savings, and debt in adult life. Students participate in a one-hour live simulation of financial decision making. It is a fun way to encourage students to think about the role finances will play in their future.  

Each year, the freshman class gets to choose their pathway. A Declaration Ceremony is held in their honor. This event allows students to proudly support their future area of study as well as bond with others in their chosen pathway.

Each year, the Business and Culinary Arts Academy collaborates to host a "Food Truck" event. It is "All Hands on Deck" for this event! Students from the Culinary Arts Pathway get to showcase their culinary skills to the community and the Business Pathway students help market the event.
