This week, McClure Health Science students were treated to a mouthwatering journey through college dining during our Taste of College event! From flavorful college-inspired dishes to fun cafeteria vibes, students absolutely loved trying the exciting new menu items.

What made it even more special? Culinary students from Berkmar High School joined forces with our incredible School Nutrition team to prepare and serve meals side-by-side. It was a true collaboration in excellence and opportunity—bringing future chefs into our kitchen and future college students a little closer to their dreams.

The menus were inspired by actual college dining halls, and the energy was high as students raved about the flavors, grabbed selfies with friends, and explored new tastes. We’re so proud of the team effort that made this week a hit—and our students can’t stop talking about it!

Our talented student musicians took the stage for an unforgettable Spring Band Concert, beautifully directed by Ms. Groves! From start to finish, the performance was a celebration of hard work, dedication, and musical excellence.

Under Ms. Groves’ leadership, the band delivered powerful performances that showcased not only their growth this year, but also their passion for music. Families, friends, and staff were treated to an evening filled with rhythm, harmony, and Pulse pride.

Bravo to all of our student performers and to Ms. Groves for guiding them to such a spectacular finish this season!

This week, McClure Health Science proudly hosted AP Research Family Night, where students had the opportunity to showcase the incredible depth and rigor of their year-long research projects.

Families, friends, and staff gathered to hear our scholars present their findings, discuss their research questions, and reflect on their growth as critical thinkers and academic writers. From science and social justice to health and education, the topics explored demonstrated the intellectual curiosity and passion of our students.

We’re so proud of our AP Research students for their hard work, courage, and professionalism. Thank you to our families for supporting this important step in our students’ academic journeys!

It was a memorable night for our McClure Health Science seniors on the Meadowcreek High School Soccer Team as they celebrated their senior season in style!

Seniors Raul and Bryan were honored on the field and took the time to recognize two impactful educators—Ms. Solinski and Coach Kirkpatrick—for the support and encouragement they’ve shown throughout their high school journey.

We’re proud of Raul and Bryan for their leadership, sportsmanship, and school spirit. Keep making the Pulse proud!

We were one of the few schools recognized as a 2024–2025 AP Honor School and received the AP Honor Roll Gold with Access Award at yesterday's GCPS Board Meeting! This prestigious recognition is a testament to your commitment to providing rigorous, meaningful learning opportunities for all students. Thank you for your continued dedication and support!

A huge THANK YOU to Ms. Malloy, for leading not one—but two super necessary Google Classroom sessions!

With eCLASS being phased out, we’re all working hard to transition into the Google ecosystem—and Ms. Malloy is making that shift easier for everyone. Her sessions broke it down step-by-step, gave us practical tools we can use right away, and helped us feel more confident about what’s ahead.

Thank you for being a steady guide during this digital shift—we’re better (and more Google-savvy) because of you!

Right before Spring Break, we had the joy of welcoming bright and enthusiastic 4th-grade students from Lilburn Elementary School to McClure Health Science for a day filled with learning, excitement, and community building!

From hands-on activities in our Health Science Labs to interactive sessions in the Exercise Phys and Fitness Rooms, our young visitors got a true taste of the McClure experience. The day wrapped up with an energy-packed Pep Rally in the gym—making it an unforgettable event for everyone involved.

We are so grateful to everyone who helped make this day such a success. Special thanks to Sally Taylor, Mr. Marinelli, Ms. Guzman, Dr. Mitchell, Mr. Boulware, and all the teachers, staff, and student leaders who brought this vision to life. Your teamwork, flexibility, and warm welcome left a lasting impression on our future healthcare heroes!

A huge congratulations to our School Nutrition Program (SNP) team for earning a 100% on their recent inspection! 🏅

Their commitment to excellence, safety, and service is unmatched—and it shows in every meal they serve. From behind-the-scenes preparation to the warm smiles in the serving lines, this team goes above and beyond every single day.

We’re proud of your hard work and proud to celebrate this incredible achievement with you. Way to go, team!

Everything you need to know about the new FAFSA® changes

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) is the gateway to getting federal student loans, scholarships, grants, and work-study for school, but there can be so much confusion around it.

The FAFSA® used to be a super long application that took a lot of time and effort—that’s now a thing of the past. The FAFSA® for the 2024-2025 academic year is the new and improved version. Check out the link below to see all the changes!

Tips on how to avoid these common FAFSA® mistakes

Every year, families postpone filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®). Some skip it entirely because they think it’s a waste of time, the application is too long, or it's only a fast track to federal student loans. However, the FAFSA® package can also include college scholarships, work-study, and grants. Not filling it out—the most costly FAFSA® mistake—can result in losing money that could have helped you pay for college. Don’t be that student, and make sure you avoid these common FAFSA® mistakes by checking out the article link below!
