Class of 2024 Seniors there is still time to apply for reserved parking for next year. S Lot spaces are going quickly.

2024 Social Studies Olympiad
Calling all Students...
Interested in the Social Studies Olympiad for next School Year?
The theme for next year has been announced (see below). If you are bored this summer and you are looking for something to do/read take a look at the instructions for a project from this year and start planning out something. Just an idea. Have a great summer! From the Social Studies Olympiad President:
Good morning teachers/coaches,
One of my goals for this year is to be able to announce the theme for next year's Olympiad before most people complete their school year. I am excited to announce the 2024 Olympiad theme:
Stand Up! Risk Takers and Change Makers
We are currently working on a flier to promote the 2024 Olympiad and working on updating the handbook. We will be introducing a few new categories for 2024 and also automating some of the processes so the paperwork will be easier to complete.
