🎉 Our First Class in the New Extended Learning Area! 📚
We’re excited to showcase one of the first classes to use our new Extended Learning Area! Library Media Specialist Jessica North teamed up with English Teacher Emily Nunez for an interactive lesson on book genres.
Students kicked off the activity with a quiz to explore their reading interests, then rotated through stations that highlighted different genres. They had the chance to preview books and discover new favorites—making reading fun and engaging!
Our new space is already helping to bring learning to life! 💡✨

🏗️🎉 We built more than just school spirit at our Construction-Themed Pep Rally! From the NJROTC presenting the Colors and our Chorus performing the National Anthem to recognizing our clubs and welcoming new 'Staffulty,' the energy was through the roof! Special thanks to our guest speaker, Will Buchanan, for laying the groundwork for an inspiring new year. We ended with a burst of excitement, from the balloon pop to the obstacle course, and of course, a sing-along to ‘Don’t Stop Believin’! 🚧🎶 #SchoolSpirit #PepRally #BuildingSchoolSpirit #GHSSCA #GoDukes
