Metro Early College High School -

Due to the inclement weather expected this evening, Metro after school activities are being cancelled today. Our school day will end at 2:30 PM as usual, but if your student planned to stay after school, they will need a ride home by 3:00 PM. This will allow everyone to travel home safely before any bad weather hits our area.

Metro teacher Erika Reeves joined OSU professor Sophia Jeong and Kelsey Gray (WHS) to present to preservice teachers at the NSTA conference in Denver. PAST Foundation staff participated in the design cycle session focused on creating engaging and actionable lessons for students. @MetroSchool1 @Erika_Reeves #ThisIsPAST
