Five Rye Lake High School graduates praised for their growth and achievement

 In a moving ceremony that marked the end of a chapter with new challenges to come, five members of the Rye Lake Campus High School graduating class were hailed by educators and embraced by family, all equally proud of their accomplishments. “Today marks not just the end of high school but the beginning of your next adventure,” Principal Eric Ford told graduates Connor Boyle, Olivia Corona, Arlinda Hoxhaj, Avery Thompson and Khianni Thomas.

Rye Lake Campus 8th Graders ready for the next chapter

The Rye Lake Campus Middle School Moving Up ceremony on June 12 recognized the successes and future triumphs of seven students who will embrace the challenges of high school in the fall.

Rye Lake High School students staged a Renaissance Exhibit of presentations on great figures of the period, from Shakespeare and Michelangelo to Raphael.

The event follows a visit earlier this spring to the Medieval Times Dinner Theater in New Jersey in late April. There they witnessed reenactments of medieval-style games, sword-fighting, and jousting. The Renaissance Exhibit required students to research an artist or writer from the period and produce a presentation based in Google Slides and an art piece. Their research ranged from samples of great works and biographical information about the figure to details about their impact on the world at the time.

Visitors perused the tri-fold displays arranged in the school’s main conference room, allowing students to share information and answer questions about their research.

Twenty-nine students were honored for their academic performance at a celebration that has so successfully incentivized student achievement that the event had to be moved to the school's gymnasium to accommodate all those being recognized.
