Board Briefing

Each May, the School Board recognizes all scholars who competed or were recognized at the state level. In a year where we have had a lot of firsts, it is not a surprise that this was our biggest group of scholars recognized and most plaques earned. This year, nearly 250 scholars were honored and over 300 plaques were handed out.
