Turquoise Day-Career Day 2023
As the 2022-23 school year continues, students are gradually gaining a greater sense of connection with each other and with the school, especially through “Turquoise Days”, the half-days that mark the end of each learning module.
On April 7, high school students welcomed and learned from alumni and community members about a range of careers as they contemplate life after high school and college. It was wonderful to see the faces of graduates from as early as 2002 and as recently as 2021 speaking directly to current students about how to imagine life after high school.
