Dear Trojan Families,

Second semester is here, and I want to encourage everyone to lock in and be laser focused on setting and achieving your personal goals. Let's all remember that excellence is a habit, and our goal is to keep improving every day. Students should focus on showing up every day, staying engaged in their learning, and avoiding conflicts with one another. Success starts with consistent effort and positive relationships, both in and out of the classroom. See below for a few updates:

ENROLL, ENLIST, EMPLOY

Seniors should be considering what they are planning to do after graduation in just a few short months. It's ok to not have a definitive plan right now, but they should be thinking about all of the available options-tech or trade school, college, military, or career opportunities. Students may speak with their school counselor or our career counselor for assistance.
