Business Partners Breakfast
The senior class is waiting to welcome our community partners at our celebration breakfast this morning. This event is our thank you to all who have opened their businesses to our interns. Our business partners are vitally important to our program by providing experience, guidance, and leadership to our students. In turn, we appreciate your enthusiasm for the knowledge and skills our students have to offer.
Congratulations, Seniors, on successfully completing your required 280 internship hours!
After the Business Partners Breakfast is our Junior Intern fair, where our new group of interns will be ready to present their resumés and work samples to prospective employees.

KIDO Visit
We are excited to announce that KIDO will be broadcasting Kevin Miller’s radio program, “Promote Our Schools, Secure Our Future” from MTCHS on April 12 from 6 to 9 a.m. We wish to thank them for including us in their schedule. Be sure to tune in on 580AM or 107.5FM to hear the show!
Kevin Miller believes in the power of education, which is why he does his broadcast from a different school every week. Kevin lets the people (administrators, teachers and students) who are in the education trenches speak about what is really happening in our schools. Many thanks to CapEd and Team Mazda for their funding and support of this important program!
Prom Night!
Hey Dragons!
Student Council is excited to announce we will be holding a Prom to celebrate the end of the year! It will take place at Trailhead in Downtown Boise on Saturday, April 28 from 7–10pm.
It will be a semi-formal dance, so get dressed up, but there is no need to break out a tuxedo or other super fancy dress (unless you want to). All grade levels are invited, so bring a date (or don’t) or come with friends – everyone is welcome! Ticket prices will be $15 for an individual and $25 for a couple’s ticket. Many more details to come!
If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions for the dance, please contact one of your Student Council representatives. We hope to see you there!
