Mrs. Vaught and her CASE Engineering students took on a (not-so-friendly 😉) challenge to see whose windmill could rotate a dangling cup the fastest! 🌬️⚙️ JC and Brady had a strong prototype, but several groups were right on their heels. Hands-on projects like this are what make learning come alive—our Apaches are building teamwork, problem-solving, and design skills that will prepare them for whatever goals they pursue after graduation. 💛🖤 We love our Ag Department! 🌟 #OurTribeStory






By practicing goal setting, students develop skills that help them stay focused, manage their time effectively, and achieve their personal and academic goals.
We’re excited to see the meaningful goals our Apaches set for themselves this month! 💛🖤
