If so, we would like to invite you to attend the Scholarship Club that is hosted by the Counseling Department. At the scholarship club, we will introduce you to scholarship opportunities and provide time to work on scholarship applications under the guidance of a counseling staff member. For additional information, please contact Ms. Womack in the Counseling Office. The club meets Mondays during lunch and period 7 in the College/Career Center (L-1) located across from the library.

Loss of Privilege (LOP) List: This exists to support the idea that our primary function is “Academics First” and that student behaviors and choices need to prioritize attendance and following school rules. Students may earn their way off of the LOP list through attendance at detention and / or Saturday school after talking with their Assistant Principal. They can also lose a privilege that was granted (i.e. serving Saturday School to be eligible to purchase a Dance Ticket, but then repeat actions (or new actions) that put them back on LOP so that attending Dance is no longer available to them and a dance ticket refund is issued). All students begin Semester 2 off the list. Totals from Semester 1 do not count for Semester 2.

See our Loss of Privilege Policy HERE.

Hello Wolf Pack Students and Families:

Recently our school board approved a three year calendar. For ease of reading and planning for students and families, we brought them together in one document for you. If you could please plan your family time around our announced Summer, Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring breaks, this would help your student stay on top of classroom instruction and learning. We know this is not always possible, but we just wanted to share this for possible advance planning.

Multi-year Calendar for Students and Parents: 2022-23; 2023-24; 2024-25.

Thank you....let's go Wolf Pack!

February 2, 2022 was the National Letter of Intent Signing Day. Athletes who have verbal offers from college coaches make their athletic scholarships official by signing their National Letter of Intent.

We are proud to announce that two of our student-athletes, Madalyn Morris (Vanguard University) and Isabella Shubert (Knox College), signed their official letters of intent in the gym foyer. Their parents and families really apprecated the event and we thank Athletic Director Lucas Hondros, ASB Director Ardy Riego, and AP of Athletics John Hoadley for making this event happen.

Please feel free to congratulate Madalyn and Isabella on their fine accomplishments!

Last week in English, the sophomore honors students exercised their persuasion powers by playing a game called "Snake Oil." In the game, students were given a customer (aka "audience") to whom they had to sell a product of their choosing combining cards in their hand. They had 2 minutes to write down their sales pitch using rhetorical strategies, appeals, and evidence. Then, they presented it to the customer. The customer chose the winning pitch based on how well they were convinced. A class favorite involved the customer/audience being a Ninja. The student pitched "Sleep Glue" to the Ninja.

Sales Pitch- When thrown onto your opponent or enemies in battle, rest assured you'll be safe. With sleep glue, the enemy will instantly fall asleep and stay in place until the glue is removed with a special solution only available through certified Ninja's. Ninja's report that the glue is 100% effective at slowing down their opponents. Buy Sleep Glue today to keep your enemy at bay.
