IVY League Trip

Recently, several high school juniors and staff members from Frontier School of Excellence & Frontier STEM High School toured 4 East Coast IVY League schools for 4 days during March 9th through March 13th. The universities they visited included Harvard, MIT, YALE, BOSTON, and West Point Academy. Students and staff also had a great time visiting Times Square, a NYC bus tour, along with a boat tour to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.

The goal of this trip is to get students excited about higher education and the options they have at these well-known universities. "This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for these students," said Bunyamin Murat, Director of College and Career Success.

Take a look at what a couple of students said about their trip!

"This trip was important for me because I got to see how students live their lives in college. It was also important for me because I learned about things that happen in universities and how universities can help students." -Lesley C.

"It was important for us to attend this trip to see the bigger universities to make our dreams bigger." -Hector L.

FSE Band Performs at the Palen Concert Clinic

On March 8th, Mr. Banks, Band & Music Director, took the FSE High School Band to perform for the Palen Concert Clinic at Belton High School. Students performed for Paseo Academy students, two guest adjudicators, Palen Music Center representatives, and the Belton High School band directors. After their performance, guest adjudicators worked with the FSE Band to improve their performance skills. The students learned so much and they had a great time too!

This was an invaluable experience for the band to perform out of the district for the first time ever, to work with music clinicians, and to listen to another group perform for others. Furthermore, this experience inspired students to work harder and it enhanced their musical performance horizon.

Home Visits

Teachers and school staff have visited 431 students in 405 homes since the start of the 2021-22 school year.

Home visits are paramount in bridging cultural gaps that might exist. These visits also provide opportunities for staff to understand their students better by visiting them in their home environments.
