Advanced Placement U.S. Government & Politics Debate
What better way to end a Friday than with a good old fashion, public forum style panel debate on the Bill of Rights and citizenship. Our Advanced Placement U.S. Government and Politics students eloquently and persuasively argued both sides of the topic with facts and enthusiasm. Needless to say, our guest judges were impressed!
Congratulations to this year's high school Employee of the Year... science teacher, Chris Harlow!
