Celebrations
Experiencing Astronomy Firsthand, well…FirstEYE
Students and teachers throughout the nation recently had the opportunity to experience a near-total eclipse, and YESS was able to participate in the event, too. Throughout YESS students and teachers were stylin’ with the latest eclipse eye-wear. How awesome to experience both a scientific and historical event!

From YESS to Top Salesman
A recent student that transitioned out of YESS and a new hire selling shoes, earned the top salesman award in the store. A high-five to that individual!
Students have SWAG
YESS math teacher at the Detention Center, Toni, uses a SWAG Award (Students Working to Achieve Greatness) to acknowledge student achievement during class time.
