Alabama Trip
February: Among numerous excursions, the Alabama trip stands out as the 8th grade capstone event. Building on an in-depth study of the Civil Rights Movement, the trip includes four days in Montgomery, Selma, and Birmingham, with a walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Past 8th graders still talk about the trip’s importance well into high school.
