Venturing is an inclusive program through the Boy
Scouts of America for males and females aged 14-21. It is operated
through Venturing Crews, units of youth and advisors that meet on set schedules
and plan activities and events. Venturing is youth-led and
youth-inspired. If interested, check out this link https://www.scouting.org/programs/venturing/ Paper
brochures are also in the office.
· New students
who still need a device. We will be contacting you through your Advisory class
to arrange delivery.
· Students
thank you for your patience as we continue to work through settling
schedules. We are still balancing class
sizes, rooms, seniors with graduation requirements to meet, and dual enrollment
conflicts. Please know we will work to
address conflicts but we will not change schedules because a student changed
his/her mind or just has a different preference at this time. Be sure
to check your schedule on Aspen every day for the next few days for any
class or room changes.

The ACT Senior Retake
Opportunity is Tuesday, October 2nd, 2018 at school. All seniors may take
the ACT for free on this date, whether or not they have previously
tested. All seniors are REQUIRED to complete the form linked below no
later than Tuesday, August 21st in order to register for or decline this
opportunity. The form contains further information. Reminder:
Taking the ACT is a graduation requirement in the state of
Tennessee. All seniors are encouraged to take the ACT more than
once as research demonstrates a 1-3 point increase in scores between the first
and second attempt and further increases in subsequent tests.
Quote of the day from Stephen Covey:
I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.
