We want to congratulate Logan Jacquay, who is our first welding student to receive his Welding Safety certification!
Our new welding certification program is a nationally recognized program through Lincoln Electric and NC3. This program jumpstarts a student’s welding career while in high school. These industry level certifications are the equivalent of trade school experience!
Next week, our 8th and 9th grade students will be learning about programs like these that we now offer in our AG department as we begin talking about scheduling for next year.
Great work, Logan!

Every year, we have several organizations who reach out and want to help support families who may not be able afford many or any gifts for their children. The school counselors help coordinate this effort so I wanted to share the Christmas spirit that is alive in Busco. We had 24 SGCS families helped this year! The following organizations made this possible. Thank you to all of you who personally help through your time and/or money. Merry Christmas!

Thespian Troupe #971 just returned from 2 fantastic days in Chicago as they were able to attend the Broadway production of “Harry Potter & the Cursed Child," see The Bean in Millennium Park, visit the Lincoln Park Zoo, taste some Chicago-style pizza, and ride public transportation--all while exploring the city that was all decorated for Christmas. For several students, this was their first time to visit Chicago. We are grateful for the opportunity to bond and experience this trip together! 🎭
