Honors Retreat 2008!

The Honors Retreat, that magical event that only comes once a year, has come and gone. From the treacherous climb up the mountain, to the perilous peaks of the ropes course, to the deceptively talented talent show, we all have come together to form closer ties with our classmates. Here are some pictures in which to commemorate, celebrate, and remember the event....until it happens again next year.
