Upper School Families,
Today was our first Imagination day we spent the day with students in exciting clubs like Improv Club, Just Dance Club, Culinary Club, and many more! We also spent the afternoon outside playing volleyball and soccer and enjoying each other’s company! We had a smoothie truck, pizza, and donuts. It was a great day all around!
We took the seniors to the Mountain State Fair. It was a great day for all students!
Mr. Mackin and Mr. Ray took our Trailblazer club on their first hike to Mount Pisgah. It was a great hike and a great start to our new Trailblazer club!
Yesterday, 11th and 12th graders visited UNCA for a college fair. They had the chance to connect with representatives from numerous colleges and universities, each presenting distinctive programs and experiences. The atmosphere was filled with excitement as students explored various booths, collecting brochures and posing insightful questions about majors, campus life, and financial aid.
