Students can benefit from an opportunity for academic support every Wednesday afternoon from 2:40pm – 4:15pm in the flex room located in the learning commons. Students are supported to complete their schoolwork learning in a supervised setting. In addition students can also utilize the WIN program to make up tests they may have missed. Students can get this approved through their teacher ahead of time and the test will be ready for them to take during WIN. Faculty and staff are available along with upper-class peer tutors (especially skilled in Mathematics). Students will identify their priorities (“What I Need” or “What’s Important Now”), create a plan for the most efficient use of their time, celebrate their accomplishments, and leave with a plan for continued success. Students do not need to sign up in advance for WIN Time. We do ask that students plan to be there for the start at 2:40pm so they can benefit from the full support. We will keep a log of students and their engagement (arrival/departure time and their focus/work while they are there). For students needing transportation home, activity buses will be available departing at 4:45pm.

These admission reps are often times the same people that review college applications, it's a great connection for students. Military visits are during the lunch hour in Student Services.

In the summer of 1981, a new medium for entertainment was launched that would change the landscape of music for a generation: Music Television, commonly known simply as MTV. For decades artists yearned to “make it big” with a memorable video. The massive success of MTV led to an expansion of programming beyond mere music videos. BRAVO! 2025: I Want My MTV will celebrate MTV – its influences and its reach into pop culture – through a wide variety of musical numbers, as performed through singing, dance, jazz band and technical theatre.
