In AP European History, students concluded the French Revolution unit with a mock trial of Louis XVI. They took on roles as prosecutors, defenders, witnesses, and jury members, using historical facts and critical thinking to argue the case. The prosecution won, leading to the symbolic execution of Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, and others, marking the beginning of the Reign of Terror. It was a fun, interactive way to engage with the material and bring history to life.






Zebra Family, The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Please be assured that CPS is closely monitoring the weather forecast. All sites have reviewed our safety protocols.
We understand that parents/guardians may want to pick up their children through the proper channels. If you choose to do so, this will be an excused absence.
However, we do not want to send children home without supervision; therefore, our buses will not run early. If the weather changes and we must delay the buses, we will notify you as soon as possible through the CPS Mobile App and the Stopfinder App.

Ms. Gibson’s Intro to Ag students explored the process of ear notching in swine, a vital practice for identifying individual pigs and tracking their lineage. Understanding ear notching is essential in livestock management to ensure proper breeding records and health tracking. After a class discussion and instructional video, students applied their knowledge by practicing ear notching techniques on tortillas. The hands-on activity not only reinforced their learning but also wrapped up with a sweet treat, making the lesson both educational and fun!




Ms. Mercer's Art I class has been working hard on understanding Value (the lightness or darkness of a color) and light logic (proper placement of light and shadow). Students took a break from their big portrait projects with a day of spooky fun. While still practicing shading and drawing skills they were able to explore color and a new medium. While following along with Ms. Mercer., they learned how to break down the image of the skull and use white, black and a color of their choice to do a spooky composition!





Mark you calendars for College Connection night on Nov. 4 from 6:00-7:30.


Students in Mr. Z's AP English Language and Composition worked on creating a "Portrait of a Speaker," which is a rhetorical analysis essay on a poster! Since rhetoric is the study of persuasion (and rhetoric is everywhere), they were allowed to choose a medium of their choice to analyze and deconstruct, anything from songs to albums to speeches to short stories. Afterwards, students participated in a Gallery Walk, critiquing their compatriots and admiring their handiwork!
