MSCS OPTIONAL SCHOOLS & ADVANCED ACADEMICS

We think it's safe to say that the students and staff at Balmoral Ridgeway Elementary are excited about the upcoming break. Be safe and enjoy your Spring Break. We'll see you back bright and early on Monday, March 23.

Congratulations to Brooke and James, students at East High School who won a $12,000 scholarship for their primary flight training. Most of the funds will be used for their Private Pilot Certificate. Their accomplishment is even more meaningful because only about 85 scholarships are awarded nationwide. The Aircraft Owner and Pilot Association (AOPA) recognizes that East has had a strong program and partnership with AOPA throughout the years. ✈️
