Another change made over the summer to the school was the addition of an apparel store.
Students helped renovate a former storage space and office for the kitchen into a new store.
Principal Mike Monaghan says the goal of the store is to teach students “marketable job skills”.
The store will be led by parents with the Athletic Booster Club owning the inventory.
After they get the store up and running the goal is to have students work to learn skills like ordering and pricing merchandise, customer service, how to operate cash register technology, online marketing, and even inventory control and accounting functions.
Once the store is up and running it should be, “parent led, and student run,” according to Mr. Monaghan.
The details for the store are still evolving and being worked out, but the goal is for the Athletic Booster Club to partner and work with the Fine Arts Booster Clubs and different clubs to earn money that will go back to the students.
The store should be getting closer to opening in the next few weeks with the goal to be fully operational by the winter sports season.
