Around the Halls
Students in Mrs. Vuyancih’s ELA class acted out the Greek myth Theseus & the Minotaur in order to gain background knowledge before completing a practice test this week.
CCP physics has been working hard since coming back from break on Uniform Circular Motion. They made centripetal orbiters to test the forces at play with vertical rotations.
School Information
Tickets are on sale in the high school office!
