Each day at school, senior Alex Mont eats lunch by himself in Room 310, three floors above the noise and chaos of the student cafeteria. He has been eating the same lunch every day for the past 10 years: a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, grapes, carrots and cookies. In the quiet room, he pores over his math homework, sometimes smiling over a particularly hard problem.

Over time, the Ancient Indian civilization extended half a million square miles across the Indus river valley and outlasted Egypt and Sumer civilizations.

"We break it down like -" senior KJ Bonhomme's voice booms as the members of the boys' step team begin to pound out a rhythm at their March 17 practice. There is a flurry of movement as hands slap on thighs and feet stomp on the floor. "'Sup y'all? I just wanna know one thing," Bonhomme continues.

Suddenly, the team stops and Bonhomme speaks with confidence: "You can't step like us."
