August 2024 | High School News

Congratulations to the students from Class of 2024 who completed their IB Diploma work last May! In July, we received notification that four of the students met the qualifications to receive the full IB Diploma: Wihelmina Clement, Katrina Good, Adelaide Judy, and Beatrix Larsen! These four join an elite group of 76,988 students worldwide who achieved this distinction. And kudos to a job well done by all of the DP students, many of whom qualified for college credit through their individual subject results. 

We are looking forward to welcoming high schoolers back to the building on Wednesday, August 21! Here are some exciting things to expect upon your return: 

• A newly formatted schedule with 50 minute class blocks on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 
• Falcon Flex Days on Wednesdays, including 2 elective blocks 
• The 9th and 10th grade retreat on Friday, August 23 (11th and 12th graders will have a few special things in their schedule that day as well!) 
• A "Best of the Nest" house incentive program 

Come learn about these changes at our Open House on Tuesday, August 20. We look forward to seeing you then! 

Just a reminder: the only school supplies that high school students are required to provide for themselves is a student planner. It might be something as simple as a bullet journal or a calendar planner. Please bring your student planner to school with you on Day 1!
