This prestigious honor society recognizes students who demonstrate excellence in music, leadership, and service, and we are thrilled to see our talented musicians take this next step in their artistic and academic journeys. #PanthersRISE
Ms. Colón’s Health Science Foundations students explored the chain of infection, examining key components such as the agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, and susceptible host—and how microorganisms spread. For their assignment, students illustrated the chain of infection, applied it to a specific contagious disease, and explained how the cycle could be interrupted at each stage. Their research focused on understanding how their chosen illness spreads and identifying effective prevention strategies. #PanthersRISE
Ms. Foley’s Biology students tested their creativity by designing brain caps to reinforce their understanding of the brain’s anatomy and functions! This hands-on activity helped students visualize the different regions of the brain, including the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes, while reinforcing their roles in cognition, movement, and perception. Learning is always more fun when you can wear it! #PanthersRISE

A huge thank you to our business partner, Dunkin’ Donuts, for making this possible.
Ms. Derousie's Honors Biology students wrapped up their lesson on the regions of the brain with a creative, hands-on activity—building their very own Brain Hats! This interactive project helped students visualize and reinforce their understanding of brain structures and their functions in a fun and engaging way. #PanthersRISE
Ms. O'Neal's students enjoyed a special lunch where they practiced their social and serving skills in preparation for our Second Annual Family Dinner on Thursday night. At the event, they will serve their families, showcasing what they’ve learned while creating a meaningful experience for their loved ones. #PanthersRISE
Ms. Foley’s Forensic Science students wrapped up their Forensic Entomology unit with a hands-on PMI (Post Mortem Interval) lab. Using different-colored and sized pipe cleaners to represent insect species at various life stages, students analyzed “evidence” just like real forensic investigators. By measuring and identifying the developmental stages of flies and beetles—key players in decomposition—they worked to estimate the time of death based on the insects present. #PanthersRISE
