From the Principal

Dear Families,

This week is Counselor Appreciation Week and we would like to take time to express our deepest gratitude to all of our counselors! They have been instrumental in assisting our students throughout their high school experience.

Our counselors have guided our students during times of distress and helped them get through their toughest days. They have cheered them on to success and inspired them to achieve their goals. They always have an open ear and kind words of encouragement when students need them the most.

Let's take this opportunity to recognize our counselors and show them how much we appreciate them for all they do for our students and school community!

Sincerely,

Principal da Silva

It's Counselor Appreciation Week!💙

Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre

Acting Ensemble is excited and proud to announce the return of our Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre event! This interactive show features a show that will feature a murder in the room and YOU are the detectives. You will have the chance to interrogate actors in a campy and overly dramatic storyline. The night will feature catering by Patty Rigsby and prizes for those who figure out "Whodunit?" Tickets are pre-sale only and we have only 60 seats per night.

Lane County Mobile Pantry

On February 24th, Lane County Mobile Pantry will be at Silke Field at 3:45. This is a "farmer's market style" pantry. See more details at this link!
