Cougar Nation,
Last week we had two great senior meetings where we shared our plans for graduation. Also, great job to our Cougar Softball team as they won their 1st (vs Tuscola), 2nd (vs Carson), and 3rd (vs E. Rowan) round playoff games! They will play in the Regional Final on Tuesday against North Buncombe. Come on out and support our Cougar Softball team!!
This week is extremely important, it is the last week before Final Exams. Make sure you are here on your assigned days. Wednesdays are still an option to come in and catch up on work or review for your final exams.
I hope everyone has a great week , and keep bringing your A-game!
