Fall Fest was a student-led event planned by Mr. Misiakiewicz’s Teen Leadership class, and it was a huge success; raising over $200 for St. Jude’s! Students enjoyed the movie Hocus Pocus, a bonfire, games, and delicious food from Taco Movil, all while making great memories together.
Congrats to our Freshmen and Senior girls for winning the Powder Puff game, and to Brady Malcolm and Griffin Dawson for taking first place in the Cornhole Tournament!

Jacob Raczynski and Dante Turney retaught cellular respiration to Ms. Huber's Anatomy and Physiology Class Wednesday in preparation for their exam. They did an excellent job!

ROX is an evidence-based program that equips girls with the skills they need to navigate today’s challenges. In SOAR our ROX girls had their first group session today. They did the human knot. It was a lot of fun to work together!



🎨 One Thunderbird helping another!
When LCC alumna Kathleen Quirk ’64 learned that fellow Thunderbird Hayley Chambers ’25 lost her award-winning painting “All That Jazz” on its way to the U.S. Capitol, she used her talents as a writer to help share Hayley’s story.
While the original artwork is still missing, Hayley’s perseverance — and Kathleen’s support — remind us what the Thunderbird spirit is all about. 💙
