BEARCAT BLANKETS!
The day was a little sweeter for PSAT and SAT testing thanks to Family Express!
Last week, several students had the opportunity to take part in the Porter County Youth Healthcare Expo where they were able to learn about the many different job opportunities in multiple healthcare fields. Pictured are students Alissia Kimble, Abrielle Adkins, and Kylee Pero performing a plunge biopsy on an orange.
Last night, we celebrated 25 years of Wheeler Football by welcoming back alumni and coaches who built the foundation of our program. Thank you to all the Bearcat Football alumni and coaches who helped shape what Bearcat Football is today!
