During this months collaboration meeting, our districts high school counselors met to tour the Advanced Learning Center. The counselors were able to see firsthand the labs where students have the opportunity to progress beyond high school levels in college subjects, including computer science, film, digital media, animation, robotics, engineering and advanced health sciences. Throughout the tour, the counselors were able to learn how to best prepare students for classes at the ALC, namely by encouraging them to apply themselves in math, sciences and the arts. Our students are working hard and are doing a great job at the ALC. We appreciate their counselors and the services they provide.

While organic modeling can be difficult the students jumped right in and did a great job!

The medical forensics students are currently learning about trace evidence.  In an attempt to get a hand on experience, Mr.
