8th Grade MOTIVE8 Pathway Event

Mrs. Dodd, Mr. Finn, and 8th grade teachers accompanied 8th graders to NFHS and EFHS on Thursday, October 30 for a MOTIVE8 Pathway Event! Students learned all about the different pathway options available at their respective high schools. It was a great opportunity for students to explore programs and start thinking about their future interests and goals.

Pathway Nights

Students and families are highly encouraged to attend their high school’s Pathway Night to learn more and ask questions about each program.
