Academies
We have a 9th grade academy entitled F/X Freshman experience. This academy
is designed to transition students from the middle schools to the high
school. Students work with a team of academic teachers to establish a
foundation of success for their high school years
We are seeking to have students in grades 10-12 to select a major from one
of four career themed academies. These academies are designed to help
students explore what they would like to do after high school and answer
the question "Why do I need to know this?"
