Our Community Project Is Officially Underway!
Our students have taken the next step in our community project and submitted their inquiry to ARDOT regarding a stoplight for our community!
This project is all about student voice, community involvement, and making a difference right here at home. Our students saw a need, researched the issue, and are now taking action to advocate for improved safety in our community.
We are so proud of the work they are doing and can’t wait to see where this project takes us!
Way to go, Bearcats!
