Do you know what the hippocampus, the amygdala, or the occipital lobe does inside your brain? What about Miles Morales' brain? Or Connie? Or No Face? Ms. Prewett's AP Psychology classes recently had to determine how famous fictional characters' brains would function based on their study of the 15 different parts. They created some very complex and analytical summaries, didn't they?

Around 30 students were sworn in on October 7 to participate in Teen Court, a program that gives students meaningful roles in a restorative approach to school discipline.
Students serving in Teen Court take on roles including judges, jurors and advocates. In PCSSD’s peer-jury model, students present cases, question respondents, deliberate and determine appropriate sanctions while an adult judge presides. Sanctions may include community service, writing or reflection assignments, and workshops or classes focused on conflict resolution, decision-making and life skills.
