Musical auditions
Although this snow might have us feeling like we are never, ever getting back together, we still want to take a moment to celebrate Mrs. Mukenge and Ms. Adkins during National School Counselors Week (February 2nd-6th). They are in their Counselor Era, and this week we recognize all they do to help our students shake it off, dream big, and chase their wildest dreams. They both make sure that every NCE student feels like they truly belong, and they help our Jaguars be fearless -- both in the classroom and beyond. We are so glad they’re part of our school story. Now grab the mic, and drop a comment below to help us give our counselors a well-deserved shoutout! 🎤
