Attention Parents of Juniors and Seniors: As Prom approaches on May 17th, please be advised that students on the 2 or more failure list will NOT be eligible to attend. This policy extends to any underclassman guests as well. Please keep this in mind as you are looking to purchase your non-refundable prom tickets and attire. The eligibility list will be published shortly before the event, so it’s crucial to monitor academic progress. This list is for the 4th quarter progress report (35 week progress report). Thank you for your attention to this important matter as we prepare for a memorable evening.

Attention seniors, family and friends of the Class of 2025, It’s hard to believe that March is rapidly coming to an end and that graduation is right around the corner. With that said, the senior slide show is in the beginning stages of being created, which means that your help is needed. To create a slide show that will be memorable, your help is needed in providing pictures of your child that can include elementary, middle school, and high school. The time frame is not limited to these periods in time, so if you have other pictures, please submit what you wish. Please submit your pictures by Friday, May 30th by emailing Mr. Nichols.
