This field trip is one that will stay with students for a long time.
Christie Moore’s British Literature classes visited the Holocaust Museum as part of their study of Lord of the Flies 📖, an allegory shaped by the realities of World War II.
Experiencing history firsthand deepened students’ understanding of the novel’s themes: human nature, morality, and the consequences of losing societal structure, while sparking thoughtful reflection & meaningful discussion.🗯️
A new Lord of the Flies series is premiering on Netflix, offering another way to continue the conversation.

Well, it was an early morning wake-up call 📣 for Principal Sites, complete with a barking dog at 4AM, as members of the senior class decided to do a little sunrise tailgate . . . at his house! 🌞 Gotta love a good #SeniorClassPrank!

After the initial shock, the wee hours were filled with a lot of laughter, great conversations, and even an invitation inside. Great kids, great Principal! 😄
