The Esports Summer program gives students a chance to learn games, compete, and manage an esports competition.
Our Summer Culinary program offers students a first time cooking experience while allowing others to enhance their novice culinary, sanitation, and food safety skills.
Our Summer STEAM programs allow students to use the engineering design process to investigate, explore, and create prototypes. Students use materials from slime to jelly and circuits to explore concepts around Science.
During the Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corp (AF-JROTC) Summer Program, middle school students have the opportunity to explore all that AFJROTC has to offer. From character building to team building, drills, rocket creation, guest speakers, drills, and an ending ceremony, students are immersed in JROTC. The high school leadership team and instructors provide a great opportunity for students to explore the program before choosing it in high school.
In the Aviation Summer Program, 6th and 7th grade students have an opportunity to learn about the dynamics of flight. Students engage in challenges to help them understand the Science of flight and more! Last summer, Aviation students ended the week with a tour of the airport where they learned the ins and outs of airport operations.

Dr. Carmelita Graham, Director of Vocational Education and CTE, was interviewed for School Leader's Magazine for "Artificial Intelligence Roundtable: School Districts Navigate Some Challenging Terrain." Read the article on pages 20-25.
Completing a pre-apprenticeship gives high school students valuable hands-on experience and foundational skills, making it easier pursue career pathways and registered apprenticeships upon graduation.
