Parents & students of CTLA, please consider joining us for one of our upcoming meetings on the campus of Johnston Community College. Tuesday, July 17th at 6:30 PM will be the "Meet & Greet" in the Health Building, Room 105. On Thursday, August 2nd at 6:00 PM will be Orientation night on the 2nd floor of the Wilson Building. We hope that you will come on out to meet the faculty and staff of CTLA! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out via the contact form. Wes Bullock  Some folks like getting a head start and preparing early, so I will try to give you a run-down of what to expect for the Fall 2018 semester (8 weeks from today!). For any students taking Honors Earth/Environmental Science or Honors Biology, it is my current understanding that you will likely have me, Mr. Bullock, as your teacher. With that said, feel free to browse any of the resources on this website to get familiar with the things we'll be using. I am currently adding Biology resources and updating EES resources, so you will see more changes as we approach the start of our school year. For both courses, expect plenty of opportunities for discussion and collaboration--plus, building research and inquiry skills will be a part of the process. The hope will be to align the methods of learning course content as closely with your career pathway as possible. After all, that is one thing unique to CTLA! As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to pass those along via the contact form. -Bullock  by MemeCenter Congratulations on the hard work you all put in this semester.
