Carlin students recognized; Academic Olympics team presents program to board
Summary
Carlin school students were recognized for kindness and leadership and the Academic Olympics team described its structure, practice routine and recent competitive history to trustees; the board praised student participation and learning benefits.
Trustees recognized two Carlin High seniors, Kaylee Warren and Emily McNamara, for everyday leadership during a school 'kindness week.' Vice principal Allison Cochran highlighted student actions that promote a positive school culture.
Members of the Academic Olympics (AOT) team explained competition rules (six-player teams, 20 seconds for general questions, 45 seconds for math questions), practice routines and the program's benefits for teamwork and academic engagement. Students said the team has qualified for state three of the last five years and described AOT as a motivation that complements classroom learning.
Board members praised the presentations and encouraged continued student participation in extracurriculars that build competencies included in the district's Portrait of a Learner.
