MyRock Online Spotlight 🚀
Our MyRock Online students have been putting in the work leading up to fall break! More than 35 students recently came to campus to focus on their assignments and make great progress before the break.
Yesterday, our senior students visited Rockcastle County High School, where they met with counselors, the principal, and support staff to review important information about their senior year.
We’re so proud of their dedication, focus, and commitment! 🌟
