Recently, the staff and students of PPHS provided outstanding feedback to the CN on how their use of the CN ePortfolio affected the futures, learning outcomes, and overall engagement of their students.

Working remotely has it’s challenges for even the most experienced teams, so the PPHS Solar Panel team knew they had their work cut out for them.
