Students can be a ambassadors of the United States by participating in a study abroad scholarship program in Brazil during the 1997/98 school year.

Opportunities are also available for U.S. families to host international students.

Sometimes being a teenager isn’t easy.

Playwright K.T. Curran and Florida’s SOURCE Teen Theatre group understand. They created “Secrets,” a play about this confusing time in a person’s life.

The play sheds light on the hidden questions and feelings that grow into secrets for many young people - particularly issues surrounding their sexuality.

The public is invited to a rendition of “Secrets,” at 7 p.m. this Friday at Lewis and Clark High School.
