With nearly 2,000 students, our district is large enough to offer quality academics and strong arts and athletic programs, yet small enough for students to feel right at home. Our schools offer an educational environment that challenges, expects excellence and values differences so that each child can realize his or her potential.

Bay High students had the opportunity to experience the U.S. Army’s Interactive Semi’s virtual reality system and interactive robotic arm simulator when recruiters visited the school Tuesday. Sgt. First Class Perry said the goal of the visit was to share the benefits and options the Army has to offer. Sgt. Webb talked with the students about leadership, motivation and service. Students experienced a virtual reality jump with the Army’s Golden Knights and maneuvered a small robot’s arm to pick up objects.
