4.1.24 Ignite with Mr. Smith - Post-Spring Break Updates from Blackman High School

Welcome to another episode of Ignite, the official podcast of Blackman High School. In this episode, we're happily welcoming students back on campus after spring break as we plunge into the final two months of the school year. Listen in as we take you through our announcements for the week of April 1st - 5th.

Find out about our impressive jump in ACT scores and the upcoming important dates to mark on your calendars, including progress report release and EOC TCAP testing timelines. We also discuss the non-negotiable rule of uninterrupted testing sessions and share tips for parents to ensure their wards don't miss out on crucial exams due to appointments. A gentle reminder about the school closure on April 8th due to a district-wide eclipse watch concludes the parents' section.

Students, listen up for opportunities to meet representatives from MTSU to facilitate you through the dual enrollment application and grant process. Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT) representatives will also be available for their dual enrollment applicants. Details about coursework, the meeting with counselors about the application process, and the benefits of this program are all detailed in this segment.

We wrap the episode with an announcement of the forthcoming HOSA meeting and a hearty welcome back note to students.  As always, Go Blaze!
