The intention behind our regular all-school assemblies is to develop a feeling of unity, to build school spirit, and to foster a positive school culture among the students and staff. Our goal is to have a dynamic speaker each quarter who engages students in personal growth opportunities. Our next event is being planned, so stay tuned!

Back to School Assembly 2024
Fall 2024

We kicked off the 2024-2025 school year with a fun and engaging Back-to-School Assembly: Survival Guide Edition. Parents, students, and faculty contributed insightful advice aimed at helping both new and returning students navigate the school year in an online school. The student-led format brought a unique, peer-to-peer element that made the event even more interactive and enjoyable. It was a fantastic way to empower students, build community, and set a positive tone for the year ahead.
