🎨 Building Layers, Building Connections 🌟

With lots of new faces in the building—the Early College team prepped for students with a creative twist on team building. Staff used watercolor painting to explore the idea of “adding layers” — just as we layer support, encouragement, and opportunity for our students’ success.

We’re ready for a great year—Go Nighthawks!
