We had an incredible time at our first annual Cluster AI/Science Fair Showcase! Students from all of our cluster schools enjoyed an evening filled with exciting activities, from flying drones to engaging in interactive games and discovering how AI can be integrated into every subject area. We had 233 science fair projects on display from all of our cluster schools (153 high school projects, 56 middle school projects and 24 elementary projects). A heartfelt thank you to all of our teachers, support staff, custodians, clubs and student leaders for making this event a tremendous success!
As a reminder, our offices will be closed over the student/teacher holiday from Thursday, February 13th through Monday, February 17th. We hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday.
