Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we approach the end of the school year, I am thrilled to reflect on the many accomplishments and milestones that have made this year truly special. Our school community has come together to create an energetic and supportive learning environment, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it.
One of the highlights of our year has been the outstanding performance of our 8th grade class. This talented group of students has consistently demonstrated exceptional academic achievement, leadership skills, and a commitment to their education that is truly inspiring. As they prepare to move on to The Ninth Grade Academy, we wish them all the best in their next academic chapter and are confident that they will continue to thrive.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of our parents and guardians for your unwavering support throughout the year. Your encouragement, involvement, and dedication to your child's education have been invaluable in helping us achieve our goals. We are proud to have such a strong partnership with you and look forward to continuing to work together to provide the best possible education for your child.
Before we bid farewell to this school year, we hope you and your family enjoy a fantastic summer break. We are already looking forward to welcoming you back at Open House on August 1st, where we can catch up and share more exciting updates about our plans for the upcoming year.
Thank you again for your continued support. We are honored to serve as your child's educational home and look forward to seeing you in the fall.
Sincerely,
Chris Chitwood
Principal

Computer Science Food Truck Entrepreneur Project
Food Truck Entrepreneur places students in the driver’s seat as they use their creativity, entrepreneurial spirit, and computer applications skills to start and run their own food truck business. From creating a mouth-watering menu to designing a mobile app, students learned first-hand how computer applications can be used to run a successful business.
