Mrs. Easterling’s students at Mary G. Montgomery High School took on a hands-on challenge called “Soft Skills & AI – Building Together” to see just how important soft skills are in the workplace. Students were given unique roles, ranging from Open Communicator to Conflict Creator, Dependable & Reliable to Not Willing to Adapt. They then worked in two companies:
-- Company A used AI-powered robots to help with production.
-- Company B relied solely on live employees.
The goal was to fill customer orders as quickly as possible while navigating different personalities, communication styles, and work habits. The takeaway: Technology can speed things up, but soft skills are the real power tools in the workplace! #PerseverancePropelsProgress

The College Board’s AP program allows academically prepared students to take rigorous college-level courses, and they can receive credit from most colleges and universities if they earn a score of 3 or higher on an AP exam, which are graded on 5-point scale. Of the school's 14 AP Scholars, Bryant Jackson and Percy Rivers were named AP Scholars with Honor for earning a score of 3 or higher on at least four AP exams, and Jackson Melvin was named an AP Scholar with Distinction for earning a 3 or higher on at least five AP exams. #PerseverancePropelsProgress #LearningLeading
