High School faculty members were put to the challenge judging the 'best grilled cheese' in Mrs. Padgett's FACS classes. These weren't any ole grilled cheese sandwich. Students were allowed to be creative by adding different types of meat, cheeses, pasta, etc. to enhance the experience.

Mr. Brown's kindergarten class designed their own superhero's and commissioned the upper level art students to create them. The kindergarteners then voted on which high schooler did the best. Jill Parsley won 1st with Kyler Roscoe's hero and Carleigh Honeycutt won second with Jace Ryan's hero.

Sponsor Samantha Gailey and her FBLA members volunteered at the Shepherd of the Hills Humane Society for our last service project of the year. Students walked puppies, cleaned kennels, and helped care for kittens.

Students show off their bucket hats and Mother's Day tote bags they made in Mrs. Padgett's Apparel and Textiles class.
