Earlier this month our Robotics students got a chance to get out in the community and see first-hand how what they're learning in class gets put to practical use. Students visited Skilled Manufacturing Inc. and BORIDE Engineered Abrasives and were able to learn directly from the professionals who work in these fields each day.
A special shout out to Michigan Works for coming with us and for your continued partnership!



Congratulations to Quin Naughton (Volleyball), one of our Trojan Athletes of the Week!
Quin is one of Coach Kama's star setters! Her hustle is an asset to the team. Her skills reach beyond the net, she is a strong server and passer when needed in the back row - we are excited to see how her athletic journey unfolds as she transitions into high school next year. Not only is Quin committed, focused, and talented, she is extremely kind.
Great job, Quin! 🏆

Congratulations to Max Gracie (Football), one of our Trojan Athletes of the Week!
Coach Adam Mager describes Max as one of the "work horses" of the team that is willing to put himself in any role as long as it helps the team be better. He leads by example and always encourages those around him. Max will always stand out on the field for his dominance and big plays. In the teams 38-12 win over Alpena, he lead the team with tackles and rushed for nearly 65 yards on only 2 carries.
Great job, Max! 🏆
