We are excited that our students, staff, and parents continue to work together to encourage all of our students to have high academic aspirations as they prepare for a bright future beyond high school.

IB News



Congratulations to IB 9th grader Mira Ballantyne who won 1st place at the North Central Technology Competition yesterday in the 9/10 Animation category. She will be one of three Campbell High School students advancing to the statewide competition to be held on March 1st, including Harshad Premkumar for 3D Modeling and Theodore Behrman for Audio Production. 
Mira's project is an animated PSA on tree planting programs and greenwashing and you can find it here:

We are thrilled to welcome the incoming IB Class of 2029! Thank you to our current IB families for being wonderful ambassadors for the program. 


It's time for our Annual Silent Auction Event on Saturday, March 29th! Look for a link sent last week to purchase tickets! 


We need Auction Items for the event! Check out the IB Booster Club Instagram page and Remind for ways to donate, including our awesome grade-level auction baskets! 


Seniors: We know it's difficult right now, but please help us keep your seniors motivated! They should feel a sigh of relief having finalized their EEs and Viva Voces last week.  REMINDER: Deadlines for uploads to IB are set by the IBO. Any possible extension was provided and all exams have been paid for. Any student who misses deadlines for EE, CAS, or IA deadlines will forfeit the opportunity to receive an IB Diploma and potentially sit for exams as these are required components for receiving the IB Diploma.  


Juniors: Congratulations to juniors completing the first part of the IB Language B exams!  


Sophomores: We have enjoyed meeting with sophomores to plan their first year into IB. Reminder: All sophomores should have watched the video with you and signed up for advisement - both were sent through Remind the week before break. If the student hasn't had the opportunity to watch the video prior to advisement, we will reschedule for a brief advisement with just the student at a later date. 


Freshmen: It was wonderful advising freshmen before the break. Continue working diligently on your classes, asking teachers for help, and using the study tips advisors gave you. 


Save the Dates: 

2/25 - 3/7 - rising junior advisement -see details below and on the SIGN-UP Genius

3/11-3/13 - Rising 9th advisement after school 

3/29 - IBBC Auction Night (we need your help: follow IBBC on Social Media for ways to support the program)

4/28 - IB Exams begin

5/17- IB Medal Ceremony - for any IB Diploma/IB Course student who sits for the paid exams.
