This week, our 9th and 10th graders are participating in Teen Mental Health First Aid Training with the Madison County Rural Health Council! 🧠💚
Through this program, students are learning to:
✅ Recognize the signs of mental health challenges in themselves and others.
✅ Support friends in need and connect them to trusted adults or resources.
✅ Build resilience and break the stigma surrounding mental health.
💬 "It’s important to know how to help a friend and understand how to ask for help if you need it," says one student participant.
👏 We’re so proud of our students for taking these steps to foster a healthier, more compassionate community. Let’s keep the conversation going! 🧠🌪️ #GoPurple

The 9th Grade Academy celebrated On-Track students from Quarter 3 by providing a Hot Chocolate Station. Students who were passing all of their Quarter 3 classes got to design a hot chocolate with all the fixings! Congrats to all!
Before the break, 9th Grade Academy students celebrated On-Track Attendance. Mr. Chrystie’s class spun the attendance wheel and 5 students were randomly selected. Each student won a gift certificate to the coffee shop. Congrats to Brooks Boland, Damien DuBois, Ryan Evans, Rabekah Monroe and Nora Collins.
Each week the 9th Grade Academy has a competition between homerooms to see which class has the most students wearing purple on Purple Pride Fridays. Congratulations to this weeks winners- Mr. Moutard’s class! They had over ½ of the students wearing purple on Friday! GO PURPLE!
