In AP Euro, students put Louis XVI on trial in an intense courtroom drama! With 2 prosecutors, 2 defenders, 6 witnesses each, a jury, and court reporters, everyone researched their characters deeply and crafted powerful testimonies. After a gripping trial, both classes found Louis XVI guilty.

But the drama didn’t end there—Robespierre then rose to accuse Marie Antoinette and two others, sentencing them to execution and ushering in the Reign of Terror. History came alive in a truly unforgettable way!

Our Principles of Biomed students tackled a high-intensity Catastrophic Bleeding exercise, learning how to stay calm and respond effectively in emergency situations. 🚑💪 These skills prepare them to handle critical moments with confidence and care!
