For Mrs. Brosseau's final History 8 project, #proudcardinal students are presenting TED Talks titled "A Living History of the Civil War," in which they take on the role of a person who lived through the Civil War and present 5 minutes of historical facts as they would have experienced them.




There will be an informational meeting for next year's trip to New York City on Monday, June 1, at 5:30 p.m. in the high school library. Students entering grades 7 through 12 are welcome to travel. All students who attend with an adult will be entered in a drawing for $125 off the cost of the trip.
