  • 9th graders have been invited to a trip to CU Boulder on April 10, 2025. This is a great opportunity to get on a college campus, see what they have to offer and begin thinking about what they'd like to do after high school themselves. Students can access the permission slip on the Class of 2028 Schoology page or get one from Ms. Hyosaka in the counseling office.

Tickets can be purchased at eastchoir.seatyourself.biz
