Seniors in Mrs. Corbin's Anatomy & Physiology class recently wrapped up their study of the nervous system and special senses. They took the opportunity to perform a cow eye dissection (a product of the meat industry), as the cow eye is remarkably similar to the human eye in structure and function. Students had the chance to observe both the external and internal anatomy and identify key differences, such as the shape of the pupil (cows have a rectangular pupil) and the presence of a tapetum, which helps maximize vision in low-light situations.

The 8th grade class enjoyed an incredible trip to our nation's capital earlier this month, filled with beautiful weather, meaningful experiences, and plenty of steps along the way! Students explored some of the nation’s most iconic landmarks, including the Capitol, the Supreme Court, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Natural History Museum, and took in a memorable evening stroll along the National Mall at dusk.

Throughout the trip, students represented CCA with excellence, demonstrating enthusiasm, respect, and a genuine enjoyment of one another. Trip chaperones were encouraged not only by all that the students learned, but by the opportunity to spend time with such a thoughtful, fun, and engaging group.
