🍳🥞 The culinary class has been cooking up some amazing breakfasts these past few weeks! From fried eggs and omelets to quiche, waffles, and breakfast casseroles—these talented students have done it all! 🎉 Today, they topped it off with delicious strawberry and whipped cream crepes 🍓🍰. As one student put it: "Best breakfast ever!" 👏 Great job, Jordan, Wyatt, Jade, Zach, and Hunter! 🌟
We have been informed by the Highland County Sheriff’s Office that, due to repairs on the downed power line, we will be without power until the repairs are completed.
Due to a downed power line in Monterey, the school is currently experiencing power and internet issues; however, all major functions remain operational.
Last week, Delegate Runion stopped by to speak with several middle and high school classes. He discussed the key differences between federal, state, and local governments, as well as the contrasts between urban and rural governance. 🌍🏛️
One student even took a moment to thank Delegate Runion, expressing appreciation for his visit, especially since it's not often that politicians come to Highland to hear about local issues. 👏
We’re grateful for his time and insight!
