A word from your Proud Principal Mrs. Garcia:
Students are working hard all around the campus! Teachers are working hard to engage the students with creative and fun lessons. In addition, there have been several extra curricular activities lately. I hope you were able to come to the first ever Beaver Tech Musical Seussical! It was amazing to see our students shine bright on stage through the arts. We had several district level leaders come out to the event. They were so impressed by the performance of our students. Our School Board member, Mr. Johnny Beach, was so impressed he gave the teachers, students and PTA a shout out during the Board Meeting on Tuesday night!! Keep SHINING BRIGHT BEAVER STARS!!!
I am so proud of all the effort students and staff are showing across the campus.
