We are excited to celebrate another incredible accomplishment by Mrs. Thornton's high school Information Technology students! This past week, 48% of her students embraced the challenge of earning their Microsoft Office Specialist Excel certification—and just as they did with the Word certification in October, they achieved a perfect 100% pass rate! Adding to the excitement, two standout students went above and beyond by pursuing the Microsoft Office Specialist Outlook certification, and they passed with flying colors! These successes highlight the students' unwavering dedication, hard work, and the excellence of our program. Mrs. Thornton is immensely proud of all her students for their commitment to academic success and their proactive steps toward a bright future. Congratulations to these extraordinary students—you continue to inspire us all. Keep reaching for greatness!
