On May 2nd, the Jr/Sr. high school held its second annual College and Career Day! Students were able to go to three different speaking sessions and hear about different careers. 7th grade students learned about career exploration, the importance of attendance and passing classes in their early high school years, and different opportunities available to them in high school. They also heard from a senior panel, who reflected on their experiences at AFC.
From live musical performances, to senior art portfolios, to Spanish projects and everything in between; the first AFC Jr/Sr High School showcase was a success! Thank you to all of the community members that came out Wednesday night. A big thank you to the students and staff that put it all together!
Students tested their engineering skills by using various weights to see if their bridges would hold strong.
