High School Student Panel
Spring Alumni Panel
Hopefully you remember how informative it was when Charles Armstrong School alumni returned to campus to speak to the 7th and 8th grade Armstrong students and their parents about the transition to high school.  If you are interested in providing this same opportunity to the current Armstrong middle school students, and are available to be a part of the High School Student Panel on Friday, November 3 from 8am to 10am, please contact Regina Lewis via email at [email protected].  We are hoping to have a variety of high schools represented by Charles Armstrong Alumni who are now in 9th or 10th grade.

Our son, Buck (Michael), attended Armstrong 1st grade through 4th grade until we moved to the Midwest in 2004.

He graduated from the University of Nebraska with a BS in Journalism, and is now getting his Masters Degree in Writing from the University of Denver. 
 
He always says that without Armstrong he never would have learned to write.
