| 🔦 Student Spotlight Welcome to our Student Spotlight where we highlight some of our amazing high school students and their accomplishments in and outside of the classroom!  When Sage Oak 11th grader Thomas Sullivan is not working on homework, you’ll probably find him on his bike. Thomas won his division in the Redlands Bicycle Classic in this month. He took first in stage 1 of the race with almost a 2 minute lead over 2nd place! He took the yellow jersey (most points overall each day) for all 3 stages and won the Junior Classic, thanks to the teamwork of his team. He was invited to Europe later this month to race with the USA Junior National Cycling Team in the Czech Republic! Thomas participates in the Sage Oak-Crafton Hills dual enrollment partnership courses so he can get a headstart on achieving his post-high school goals and is interested in pursuing fire science at the Crafton Hills College Fire Academy. Good luck Thomas! |
