🌳 At York Preparatory Academy, we are committed to developing LEADERS equipped with "well-rounded skills that will enable them to successfully engage in their chosen pursuits." The Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) at York Prep recently held their first Lunch and Learn event, where high school members showcased their hard work. Through research and interviews with faculty, they crafted inspiring presentations on networking, personal and professional growth, and leadership for their peers and staff. FBLA Advisor Dr. Britny Logan emphasized that the club aims to "prepare students to become community-minded business leaders in a global society through relevant career preparation and leadership experiences."

At York Prep, we help students connect their classroom subjects to real-world jobs and applications. In Mrs. Bahr and Mrs. Manley's fifth-grade classes, students took part in an enrichment math project that focused on decimals. They created their own food trucks, complete with themes, menus, and 3-D models, while solving math problems related to their menus. As a school, we are committed to preparing students for success both today and on their future path!

Students from York Prep High School are visiting Winthrop University for Teacher Cadet Day! Teacher Cadet is a dual enrollment college course offered on YPA's campus that allows students to explore the teaching profession while gaining valuable classroom experience. Over the years, we have been proud to see many of our Teacher Cadet students pursue careers in education, with some even returning as York Prep faculty!

Wishing our Cross Country team the best of luck as they compete in Regionals today at Central High School! Go Patriots!
