Getting some teenagers to wake up early on a school day can sometimes be a real chore. But what if it is for a good cause?

Many Helix Charter High School seniors will wake up a little earlier this Friday as they take part in the annual Senior Sunrise event. The event, which allows seniors to bond in their final year of high school, is a Helix tradition that many seniors and staff enjoy being a part of.

Teacher Jaime Woodland is an advisor to the Helix Class of 2026. Although she will not be able to attend in person this time, she helped organize the event.

While COVID interrupted the event several years ago, the special morning has been back on track in recent times.

“The event itself is usually just gathering together as a class, watching the sunrise and taking photos,” Woodland said.
