We are a community focused on student learning in order to build character, foster informed and productive citizenship, and prepare all youth for college and career success.

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

I hope this message finds you rested, rejuvenated, and ready to embrace the excitement of a new school year.

On behalf of the entire district, I want to extend a heartfelt welcome back to all our students and families.

We have exciting new initiatives and opportunities planned to make this year one of growth and success for every student. Whether it's new academic programs, enhanced extracurricular activities, or a continued focus on student well-being and safety, we are working tirelessly to ensure this year is full of enriching experiences that nurture both the mind and the heart.

To our students, you are at the heart of everything we do, and we cannot wait to see the amazing things you will accomplish. Your energy, curiosity, and passion for learning inspire us all. Let’s make this year one to remember by embracing challenges, exploring new ideas, and working together to achieve our goals.

To our parents and guardians, we thank you for your continued partnership and trust. Your support is invaluable in ensuring the success and well-being of our students. We look forward to working alongside you throughout the year to create a nurturing and empowering learning environment for our students where they can receive a high-quality education preparing them for college and careers.

Together, as a community, we are stronger, and together we will make this year our best yet. Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to excellence in education. Here's to a fantastic year ahead!

Please be aware that next year, the Friday school schedule times have been extended. This change has been made to maximize learning opportunities for our students. By increasing the amount of instructional time on Fridays, we aim to provide a more enriching and comprehensive educational experience.
