This morning, we celebrated students who were nominated to receive Sonoraville High School’s 212° the extra degree award. 🔥
At 211° water is hot. At 212°, it boils. And with boiling water,
comes steam...and with steam, you can power a train.
That one extra degree, that one small step, makes the difference.
We are so proud of these students for being recognized for their positive character traits and willingness to go the extra degree.
