Energy Academy: Year Two

LaRissa Simmons, Staff Writer

This school year at Campbell County High School has been different for the students inside The Energy Academy. The Energy Academy is a small learning community inside the high school. The students within the Energy Academy have four core classes together. Therefore students have closer relationships with the teachers and each other. “It makes it easier to teach because I already know all my students,” said American History teacher Pat Waliser.
This is the second year the Academy has been at CCHS. One big change this year is the new science teacher, Brent Daly. The students seem to really enjoy Daly. “He is cool, and he makes learning fun,” said junior Dalton Shanks.
Another change is the new dress code. The students in the Academy were given grey polo shirts last year, but this is the first year they are supposed to wear them every Wednesday. “I think we shouldn’t have to wear the shirts every Wednesday, but instead just on the days we leave campus,” said junior Kaitlynn Arhart.
