Juniors Competing at “We The People”

/in /by

Wishing all the best to our Junior Class as they head off to the We the People Competition this morning!  They have spent the last few weeks working hard: studying, practicing, and studying even more.

The We the People Competition is a simulated congressional hearing in which students “testify” before a panel of judges acting as members of Congress. Students demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of constitutional principles and have opportunities to evaluate, take, and defend positions on relevant historical and contemporary issues.

NHS Food Drive

/in /by

One in seven people living in Idaho are food insecure.  They rely on places like the Meridian Food Bank for food every single week.  Thankfully, we have the power to help these families.  All it takes is a simple non-perishable food donation.  As you enter our school there are barrels near the front door, waiting for your help.  Join National Honor Society and help fight against local hunger.

Don’t wait too long because those barrels will leave on January 26th!
