Weather Watch: No Jan. 31 Activities

We are closely monitoring the next round of winter weather expected this weekend for our area. Based on the forecast and after consulting with local emergency teams, all extra-curricular activities for Saturday, Jan. 31, have been canceled.

Any decision concerning our Monday school schedule will be shared with families no later than Sunday evening through email/text messages, our websites, social media, and local media stations. If you are not receiving our direct messages, please check your contact information in the Parent Portal.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to navigate through our weather challenges.

  • In a word, engineering is about design! Students will learn about how to turn an idea into an actual product using the engineering design process. Along the way, they must learn to use tools and technology to ensure the product solves their problem effectively. Students will learn key concepts on several topics including structural design, catapults, electronics, and many more.

    Engineering is an exciting career choice because there are many specializations to choose from. The starting salaries are also very high as is the demand, which provides great job security.

The Technology Student Association (TSA) is the only student organization devoted exclusively to the needs of students interested in technology. Members learn through exciting competitive events, leadership opportunities and much more. TSA chapters take the study of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) beyond the classroom and give students the chance to pursue academic challenges among friends with similar goals and interests.
