Our Build & Design Academy students recently turned the campus into a playground of innovation by creating their very own Academy Carnival!
This wasn’t just about fun and games—it was a showcase of everything they’ve been learning in the classroom. From the ground up, our students used their technical skills to design, engineer, and build custom carnival attractions.
Here’s how they put their skills to work:
📐 Engineering & Design: Planning and drafting layouts for structural integrity.
🔨 Construction & Fabrication: Bringing blueprints to life with hands-on builds.
⚙️ Problem Solving: Troubleshooting mechanics to make sure every game was "carnival-ready."
Seeing the creativity and craftsmanship on display was incredible. It’s one thing to learn it in a book; it’s another to build it for the whole school to enjoy! 🎢✨

A huge thank you to UofL Health Sports Medicine for visiting our Allied Health students recently! It was an incredible day of learning that bridged the gap between the sidelines and the clinic.
Our students took a deep dive into:
🏃 Career Paths: Exploring the diverse opportunities within the world of Sports Medicine.
🤝 Collaboration: Learning how athletic trainers work hand-in-hand with physical therapists, surgeons, and other healthcare specialists.
👣 Shadowing: Discussing real-world opportunities to see healthcare in action.
The highlight of the day was the hands-on lab, where students practiced the critical skills of managing sideline C-spine injuries and safe equipment removal. Learning how to stabilize an athlete in those high-pressure moments is a vital skill for any future healthcare professional!

A big thanks to Louisville Public Health for visiting our classrooms recently to speak with our students about the real health risks of vaping.
It was an eye-opening session that covered the facts regarding how nicotine affects brain development and the hidden chemicals found in aerosols. Our students learned about:
🧠 How vaping impacts concentration and mood.
🫁 The potential for long-term lung damage and "EVALI."
🧪 The truth behind "fruit-flavored" marketing.
We are committed to providing our students with the facts they need to make healthy, informed decisions. Knowledge is power! 💪✨
