Were you ever taught to annotate? Note taking while reading is helpful in forming original ideas and questions. When we write and acknowledge our thoughts, questions, and opinions, readers are able to better discuss the material with others. At Twin Peaks, we not only read great literature, we develop our students' ability to interact with and learn from those around them- a skill that seems to be disappearing from our society. Come check out what makes our program so unique at Twin Peaks Classical Academy!

Senior Night!
It is impressive that Twin Peaks students are able to study the rigorous material we expect and participate in athletics. We took time to honor our seniors on Friday for their committment to such demands.
Our girls basketball team won 47-11 and our boys won 49-22.

We cleaned up the north lot and driveline to return to “normal.” A few gentle reminders: The South/Secondary lot is not a drop-off/pick-up zone. It’s for deliveries, rubbish removal, busses with partner schools and visitors. That lot is not supervised either. Handicap spaces are for those individuals with plates or placards. Those spaces are not for a quick drop-off and pick-up! And kids, don’t be like the Mr. Mehsling; stay off of the ice bergs!

High School Awards Assembly
On January 27th, the Student Council recognized the top academic students in the high school as well as honoring students for their character.
We are proud of our high school student where 47% received an award for earning a GPA of 3.5 or higher, and 26% of all high school students received a GPA of 4.0 or higher.
It is always a pleasure to honor our students in their pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty.
