SENIORS!!!!!
If you purchased items from Jostens related to graduation, those items can be picked up in the high school office.
Senior Newsletter
Please use the following link for information regarding end of the year senior activities.
Senior Tag
As we approach the end of the school year, we want to remind everyone that Senior Tag and Senior Pranks are not school-sponsored events and are not permitted on school grounds at any time—before, during, or after school. This does include ALL athletic facilities.
While we understand the excitement of senior traditions, any participation in these activities on school property will result in consequences. Our priority is to maintain a safe and respectful learning environment for all students and staff.
We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring a positive and memorable end to the school year. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
Senior Awards
In the recent district newsletter, Senior Awards Night was incorrectly listed as taking place on Thursday, May 22. The correct date for the ceremony is Monday, May 19.
We apologize for any confusion this may have caused and look forward to celebrating our seniors on the correct date.
Academic Booster Awards Night
This event will take place on Wednesday, May 14. It is set to begin at 6:00 at the Ariel Arena (MVNU).
