A message from our hardworking yearbook crew:
Please take note that an important yearbook deadline is approaching! After Friday, November 15, yearbooks will go up in price! Also, 8th Grade Dedications will no longer be accepted! Don't be left with sad emoji vibes. Memorialize your affection for that teenager who craves your attention today! They will secretly cherish it forever despite their skibidi protestations!

CTE Parent Survey
One of the primary goals of the CTE leadership council is to gather feedback from all CTE stakeholders and make informed decisions about what needs to be changed within the classrooms and the best way we do this is through the advisory committee. This year we are using this survey as the first advisory meeting with the hope that the parents and students will complete these forms and give us honest and useful feedback that will be used to make informed decisions about the future.

Golf Cart Raffle
Prosper ISD Graduation Celebration is a long standing tradition for graduating Seniors in our district. This event is completely self-supporting as no funds come from the school district budget. It is only through the generosity of parents, townspeople, and sponsorships from local businesses and organizations that we are able to host this Celebration. We are expecting over 900 Seniors to attend this year! All monetary donations will be used to provide the entertainment, food, and door prizes for our seniors to help them enter the next phase of their lives.
If you would like to support this event, we are currently selling raffle tickets to give away a Golf Cart! Tickets are $50 and the drawing will be held on November 15th. To purchase a raffle ticket click HERE.
