This weekend, four of our outstanding Gifted and Talented sophomores—Olivia, Bridger, Jack, and Maddee—are attending the 4-day HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership) seminar at SWOSU!
They'll be diving into a unique learning experience focused on exploring important issues, understanding diverse perspectives, and discovering how to use their own leadership strengths to make a positive impact. From team-building to community service, it’s all about growing as leaders and changemakers.
We’re so proud of them for taking on this opportunity!

We had a great time learning about the body in second grade. Students were very curious about what goes on inside their body. It was fun creating a life-size body, and everyone agreed to stay healthy.🫀🫁🧠
