After a rigorous nine weeks, all of the hard work and studying has paid off for hundreds of students. On Fri., Nov. 13, the quarterly honor roll breakfast, made possible by the PTA, celebrated almost 600 hundred students' academic accomplishments and rewarded them with muffins, croissants and cups of juice.
    Almost a quarter of the school was released from class early and packed the cafeteria to enjoy the provided food while chatting amongst friends and classmates. See the video.
    "Not only does it feel nice to know I've made good grades, but I never get to mingle with my friends anymore, so that's the best part to me," Student body president Keia Faison said.

    People of the World club members plan to bring out their inner child and help the community by participating in Halloween this year.
    "We dress up, and trick or treat for cans," senior Dana Mustafa said. Improving the Durham community is just one of many goals the People of the World club reach for every year. To achieve this goal members will be asking for cans instead of candy on Halloween night in the Hardscrabble Plantation neighborhood. The club expects up to 200 lbs of can foods to match the previous years. The cans will be donated to food drives around Durham.
