College Matters
College Matters is a program for high school juniors wanting to explore different types of colleges. Students get to hear about the admissions process from a panel of admission workers. They get to examine their different criteria for choosing a college. Students also get to hear from a panel of college freshman about the transition to college life and classes. If interested in attending, please see Mrs. Kennedy.
The Art of Writing
The Art of Writing is a workshop for young artists and authors at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Students peruse the artwork in the museum to make a personal connection to one of the pieces. They then use the inspiration from that piece to produce either a personal narrative or a sketch to be published in an anthology. In spring, students receive a copy of the anthology and are invited back to the Milwaukee Art Museum with their families to celebrate their published work.
Academic Bowl
The Academic Bowl competition consists of three phases: individual written exams, group oral activities, and group oral current events. Each student will take an individual written exam in one of the following areas: chemistry, biology, physical science, English, geography, world history, or United States History. The second phase of the competition will pit teams of four from each school against each other in the areas of science, social studies, and English. The final round of the bowl, teams of three from each school will answer questions about current events. If interested in participating, please Mrs. Kennedy.
