BOY'S BASKETBALL TEAM SECURE VICTORY
The boys' basketball team secured their first victory of the season against College Park Academy by winning 28-24. The game was close until the fourth quarter of play, the boys rallied together with pressure defense and perfect offensive execution in the final minutes of play. Chima Amadi in the final stretch of play used his athleticism to get to the basket and score crucial points, also Noah Rutherford hit a critical deep two-point shot as well in the final minutes. James Jackson, one of the league's more athletic Guards, drove hard to the basket to draw needed foul shots. The team led by coach Terrence Winters, showed toughness and grit against a well-coached College Park Academy team, in front of a packed CMIT home crowd. The Tigers are now 1-1 and look to continue improving their record, congratulations on a great win!

Facility Improvements
Blended Learning Lab Before
This Summer renovations began to combine two classrooms into one for our Blended Learning Lab. This renovation included removing a shared wall to enlarge the space to accommodate 60 student workstations.
Blended Learning Lab After
The lab is furnished with enclosed computer workstations. Blended Learning is scheduled for each student to provide time to complete independent work during school hours. This program is designed to reduce homework time outside school hours and decrease the number of missing assignments.
