Students in English III and AP Language & Composition participated in mock interviews today, April 23. Community volunteers interviewed the students, helping them learn about the job‑interview process, refine their speaking skills, and understand the importance of making a strong first impression.
Thank you to our community leaders for supporting this initiative, and great work to all our students!
Mr. Rutter’s AP Biology class spent the morning at Des Moines’ Ape Initiative—one of only two facilities in the world devoted exclusively to bonobo research.
From learning about and observing intricate social behaviors to chatting with scientists about experimental design and conservation challenges, our students saw real‑world biology in action and left inspired to protect these amazing primates!
Whether it’s greeting families with a smile or organizing schedules, managing communication, or supporting staff and students, the work of our administrative professionals makes an enormous impact.
We’d like to thank these critical staff members for all they do as we celebrate Administrative Professionals Day! 🎉
