This past Tuesday middle school students had the opportunity to hear from guest speaker Dr. Stephanie Nnadi Northrop. Dr. Nnadi Northrop is a professor in the Department of Biology at Montgomery County Community College, as well as an HCA parent and board member. Students learned about what led her into a STEM career and they had lots of questions about careers that they are considering.

The sixth grade students have had such a fantastic start to the 2020-2021 school year!  They are acclimating nicely to the new polices and procedures.
