Flex time is sometimes for enrichment. Mr. Johnson all year has been offering guitar jam. Besides teaching, he can play the guitar! We’ve been meaning to shout this out. Pretty cool, huh? Our teachers have many talents besides teaching…just ask them! Mrs. Rice has been offering chess club! 🎸♟️👩🏫🧑🏫

🚓 NCTA Criminal Justice Guest Speaker Series 🚁
A big thank you to Officer Art Espinoza from the Burlington Police Department for speaking with our Criminal Justice students this week!
Students learned about the growing role of drone technology in modern law enforcement and got a firsthand look at how drones are used to support a variety of public safety operations. From search and rescue to scene documentation and situational awareness, students explored how emerging technology is shaping the future of policing.
We appreciate Officer Espinoza taking the time to share his knowledge, experience, and career insights with our classes!

💼🎤 NCTA Money & Business Program Guest Speaker Series 🎤💼
Featuring Danielle & Josh Howard
A huge thank you to Danielle and Josh Howard from @anniespizzastation for speaking with our Money & Business students!
With 32 years in business, they shared what it truly takes to build something that lasts. From relying on word of mouth and creating genuine relationships with customers to staying consistent through slow seasons, their story highlighted the importance of connection, quality, and community.
One of the biggest takeaways for students: you can always make more money, but you can’t get time back. Their experience and perspective gave students a meaningful real-world look at entrepreneurship and long-term business success.
Thank you for investing your time and wisdom into inspiring the next generation of business leaders! 👏🍕

Another amazing program collaboration as our Early Childhood Education students and preschoolers visited our Pre-Physical Therapy program yesterday. This provided our Pre-Physical Therapy students an opportunity to work with pediatric patients and our preschoolers to participate in lots of fun activities that exercised their large and small motor skills. What a great day!

📐 Math in the Wild: The "Flight Triangle" ✈️
Ever wonder when you’ll use pre-calc in the real world? Check out this breakdown from Mrs. Warren's whiteboard!
Using Heron’s Formula, our students calculated the exact area of the "Flight Triangle" between WSU (Pullman), EWU (Cheney), and GU (Spokane). 🐱🦅🐶
The Cool Part? Normally, to find the area of a triangle, you need the "height." But in the real world (like flight paths), there is no vertical line drawn in the sky! ☁️
Heron’s Formula is a 2,000-year-old "math hack" that lets you find the area using only the distance between the three locations.
WSU to EWU: 56.41 miles
EWU to GU: 14.39 miles
GU to WSU: 65.51 miles
The Result: That triangular slice of Washington state is approximately 337 square miles! 🤯
Who knew ancient Greek math could map out our local universities so perfectly?
Awesome lesson, Mrs. Warren!!

Hailey is preparing for her interview with the Plumbers and Pipefitters later this month by getting in some focused practice with TIG welding using a mirror.
This takes patience, precision, and a steady hand—great work, Hailey.

🚓 Hands-on learning in action at NCTA!
Our Criminal Justice students are building real-world skills through practical training experiences, including conducting traffic stops and practicing high-risk handcuffing techniques. These scenarios help students develop communication, teamwork, situational awareness, and professionalism while preparing for careers in public safety and law enforcement.
Experiential learning is what Career & Technical Education is all about! 👏

What happens when our Dental Assisting guest speaker is none other than Bobbi Thompson, CBC Dental Hygiene Instructor, Advisory Committee Chairman and Super Sub, you have PPE races to see how fast students can get themselves safely geared up. Everyone had a blast as they reinforced prior learning. Thanks Bobbi for sharing your time and energy with our students!

Congratulations to 11th graders Dakota Davis (ASB Secretary) and Abi Hill (ASB Vice President) for sweeping the 2026 Ninth Circuit Civics Contest! The topic was: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. ⚖️✨
Out of over 1,200 entries across the Western U.S., our juniors took home top honors for their incredible videos:
🥈 2nd Place ($500): Dakota Davis
🥉 3rd Place ($250): Abi Hill, with teammate Rylee Ware (U-High)
This was part of a major assignment in Mrs. Schultz’s Humanities class. After three years of having her students enter this prestigious contest, we are thrilled to celebrate our very first SVT winners! The other option was an essay but these two thrive in the video world.
🎊
Dakota and Abi will move onto a final round of judging where there is a chance to win more money/accolades.

Environmental Innovations visited two industry partners this week that developed products supporting soil health. On Wednesday, we visited Tainio Biologicals. They specialize in soil microbes that can be used in place of chemical fertilizers. This results in greater yields, more nutritious crops and healthier soil.
On Thursday, we visited Qualterra, a relatively new company that has an innovative process for producing biochar. This helps soil retain moisture, support microbes and sequester carbon.
