Parent & Guardian Update

Dear Parents & Guardians,
We are so proud of our high school seniors and juniors who presented their Capstone Projects and Science Fair data this week. There was a wonderful buzz in the building on Thursday as students were proudly in the spotlight. We would like to thank the community members, students' family members, and alumni who attended these special events and always come out to support our students.
We appreciate everyone's flexibility as we maneuver around winter weather and school delays and cancellations. Weather updates can be found on our local radio and TV stations.
