EBA Updates

The next EBA student spotlight recipient is a student that I've had the pleasure of getting to know over the past quarter. This student has exhibited several of the EBA core values in the short time that I've known him but the one that stands out the most is excellence. Each day this student works diligently in class to deliver exceptional work and encourages his peers to do the same. He even begins some of our classes with motivational speeches! In his role as an intern with Community Services of Virginia, it is evident that this student is learning all facets of Human Resources and is wearing several "hats" by taking on new tasks and assignments. Your work ethic and diligence in your academics does not go unnoticed, you are a rockstar, Iyan Marsden! Given by his EBA Senior Internship Teacher/Coordinator, Mrs. Sarah Routsis #EBAProud

If you are an EBA student interested in the BIT strand for 10th, 11th and 12th grade, we highly encourage that you attend the ATC Information night on 12/12 at 6pm at the Advanced Technology Center!

If they are waiting for a ride or for the activity bus, they should report to the main foyer/front section of the library where they will be supervised by an after-school security assistant.
