GPA Mania I Results

In the last grading cycle, Grandview HS, Ruskin HS, and the Non-Targets competed to see who would have the highest grade point average (GPA) at the end of the term. The battle was hard fought. Everybody competed at a high level. It brings with great pleasure to announce that Ruskin HS, with a 2.78, are the winners.

For winning GPA Mania I, students at Ruskin HS will receive a pizza party at the May 12th tutoring.

Wednesday Study Sessions

As the school year nears completion, finals and classes are getting tough and sometimes, additional help is needed. If you need extra help with any classes, feel free to take advantage of the Wednesday Study Sessions. With at least 24 hours notice, we can get you a tutor with almost any subject. Wednesday Study Sessions are held at Avila University.
