Today's the Day (again)! Join us at the elementary today from 12-4 for the 2nd One Act Workshop of the summer!

Once again, this is a great opportunity for any 7-12 students to learn more about the program, the upcoming season, and theatre in general! It will be a day of great experiences whether you're a 4-year veteran of the program or you still don't even know what one act is.

We hope to see you there and please feel free to reach out to Mr. McKeown with any questions!

Concrete work has begun at the high school. Please be aware of areas under construction and be prepared to use doors other than the main ones to enter the building. The driveway entrance will also be under contruction in the near future. We will use the "old" system of entering and exiting the parking lots until the new driveway entrance is completed.

Battle Creek’s Work-Based Learning program has provided seniors great opportunities for 6 years. One former student came full circle—returning not as a learner, but as a colleague alongside her mentor. #FullCircle #WorkBasedLearning
