Fashions 1 |
"Its a fun, hands-on class where you get to make clothing/accessories you’re able to take home and use! I learned all different types of stitches, how to operate a sewing machine, how to cut fabric to use for projects."
"I love the hands on projects! You make super cool fashion creations that you can actually use! I love Mrs. Keeports the fashions teacher, I have had her two years in a row and she is the best! I learned how to sketch a fashion drawing design, how to sew, and many skills that come with! " |
Foundations of Art |
"It was a very chill class and I really enjoyed the teacher. I learned a lot about art even though I wasn’t very good at it."
"It is a nice reprieve from taking academic based classes with lots of studying. In Art, the teacher usually just introduces the project for a day, then for a week or longer, students can do the project while listening to music, talking to friends, etc. I liked that the class is very easy-going and not stressful at all. However, the higher up art classes are a lot more fun because you have more independence on what type of projects you want to do." |
Computer Applications |
"It is a fun class that teaches you a lot about computers that will be useful for the rest of your life."

Intro to Family Consumer Sciences |
"I loved how it gave a short intro to multiple individual subjects within one class year. Therefore this can give students better understanding on what they want to take the next year. I learned about how to sew, cook, interior design, and child development."
"I love the hands on projects with every marking period! You learn about fashions, interior design, foods and home etc! It is a very fun class. " "It was very hands on and interactive. It was fun. We got to learn a little bit about things that would help us in daily life; cooking, sewing, house hunting, and taking care of kids. It was great." |
Concert Band |
"The thing I liked about this elective is that it went way more in depth with music and instrumentation than I did in any band class before. We are in the middle of learning all of the scales, we have completed almost all of the flat scales and the sharp scales are next down the list. We also have learned MANY of the musical vocabulary words and terms in Italian and English. This helps us understand our sheet music and the terms that are listed so we play the right articulations, dynamics and rhythms. Mr. Waldron is very helpful and hopes the best for all of his students so he does not shy away from helping you if you have a question about anything."

AP Computer Science |
"It is a fast-paced computer science course that you will enjoy if you have already taken Computer Programming. I learned about Programming in Java."

"I liked the projects we worked on in this class. I learned more about filming and how to edit using We video." |
AP Biology |

The teacher is really fun as well! I learned the biology behind many of our basic functions. I learned how to work as a group in a professional setting. The class also made me a much better test taker and taught me how to study for a cumulative exam."

Foods & Nutrition 1 |
"It was super chill and I learned how to cook and eat healthy."
"This is a class that is so enjoyable. If you are with the right, people, you will have an amazing time. This is a very interactive class, and a great break in your schedule if you have hard classes. I would 100% recommend this class if you are interested in cooking, and baking. Even if you are not, this is such a fun class to take just to learn the basics in cooking and nutrition. You learn things like how to cook safely in the kitchen, how to cook healthy, and how to safely work with kitchen equipment." |

I did like the bank fair we went to at the end of the year." "I’m taking it this year and there’s a lot to take away from it. You learn about investing, finding ways to pay for college, and other things surrounded around money that are actually applicable to your life." |
