Principal Mack Eagleton [left] and senior Aniruddh Mishra [right] pose for a picture shortly after Aniruddh received his 2nd Place Certificate from the US Congressional App Challenge. “I think the challenge itself is amazing,” Aniruddh said. “Enroll in the challenge and create your own app. If you don’t know how to code, learn how to code. That’s my number one thing that I’d say to anybody because it’s one of the most important skills coming up in the modern world.”

Aquatic science teacher Mark Romano poses beside the student-run tank filled with Neon-Tetras. “It’s important to have [animals in the aquatic science classroom] because students are probably asking themselves ‘When am I going to use this in life?’.
