We had a busy week of academic excellence both inside and outside the school walls. We had students perform well at the Academic Bowl at Williams Bay HS, 8 students perform at the regional Great History Challenge and 2 qualify for nationals, and our choir performed well at Big Foot with other local schools to name a few!! Way to go!!
