Public Service Announcement #2: Now that Daylight Saving Time has officially arrived, we wanted to remind everyone to check all of the clocks they use to make sure they are updated. Yes, computers and smartphones change automatically but you may have other clocks in your home or office that need to be changed manually, such as your oven, coffee maker, microwave, thermostat, analog wall clock, etc. In addition, make sure you check the clock in your vehicle(s) and change it if necessary.

EXCITING NEWS! The Forrest Center's Digital Audio & Podcasting elective course has been given final approval to begin recruiting and accepting rising 9th graders starting next school year. This is, of course, in addition to the rising 10th, 11th and 12th graders who can still be accepted. In other words, Digital Audio & Podcasting is now open to grades 9-12.

If you happen to know any students (especially current 8th graders) who might be interested, please ask them to watch the new Digital Audio & Podcasting Promo Video and let them know that the course is 2-credits, which count as their required Fine Arts credit and a CTE elective credit. Digital Audio & Podcasting meets during the Forrest Center's AM session (periods 1 & 2). If they have any questions, please tell them to contact their school counselor or Mr. Millham or Ms. Bishop at the Forrest Center.

Digital Audio & Podcasting introduces students to audio podcasting and Internet radio. Students will experience scriptwriting, announcing, voice acting and d...

Students in the Digital Media Production 2 class produced three versions of the 2025 Forrest Center Promo Video. All three videos are basically the same but with three different endings to put emphasis on the next upcoming recruiting event. The current video has a slightly generic ending but is being used to help promote the Forrest Center's annual Open House from 1-3:00 p.m. on Friday, February 14, 2025. This is the last chance to complete a visit before the application deadline at 11:59 that night. Please switch to sharing this version of the video to help promote what the Forrest Center has to offer.

Freshmen and Sophomores who may be interested in applying for a program should take a moment to watch the video. New this year: students are not required to complete an application visit but visits are HIGHLY encouraged AND students who complete an application visit for the program of their choice will receive an extra point when their application is ranked. Applicants are "graded" and ranked based on attendance, grades and discipline so the extra point may be helpful. Good luck to those who apply.

32 years ago yesterday a TV show premiered that used serialized storytelling. This was a departure from episodic storytelling, which was common at that time.

A new chapter in the “Star Trek” saga unfolded today with the premiere of “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.” This groundbreaking series, set on a space station orbiting the newly liberated planet Bajor, boldly departs from the traditional “Star Trek” formula, offering a darker, more complex, ...
