It is hard to believe, but we have reached single digits to our end of the year countdown. Attached, you will find the schedule for the last four days of school this semester - Monday, May 20th - Thursday, May 23rd. We will operate on a normal schedule for Monday and Tuesday (Senior Finals), but the last two days (Wednesday-Thursday) will operate on an adjusted schedule for all classes, so that there is an extended class period devoted to final exams for each class over the course of this time. Middle school classes may not have a final exam, but will still follow the adjusted schedule.
Enrollment is now open for the 2024 Summer Weights Program! Check your emails for the registration link.

TIMES: 10:00am-11:30am or 11:30am - 1:00pm

On Friday, the WRCTE North criminal justice class took a tour of the Warren jail. Students learned about the inner workings of a county jail and a little bit of what it takes to run a jail and deal with inmates. A big thank to corrections officers Audree Britt, Ashley White, Mark Marquess and administrative assistant Samantha Hill for being so welcoming and sharing their knowledge with us.
