Each week, students are nominated by our teachers to receive a Friday Firebird Award. This award is given to students who set a wonderful example by demonstrating one of the Habits of Mind!

Olivia W. was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Dr. Innocenti shared, “Olivia consistently excels in the Socratic Seminars for her college World History course. She shows a unique ability to understand the nuances of history. Olivia helped expand the understanding of her peers by linking themes of Orientalism with the foundations of the Great Divergence. She also showed how Enlightenment principles linked to the origins of the French and American Revolutions. I appreciate her willingness to dive deeper into a particular lesson and evaluate change and continuity over time!”
