September 2025

Dear JH & HS Tiger Families: 

I am so very excited to serve your child and family as the principal at the JH/HS! I look forward to meeting more of you and getting to know each of your student's names and a bit about them. As a mom to four, I know each child comes with very different needs and know we can provide a great experience for them!

I hope you and your family is well-rested, healthy, and ready to really dive into the 2025–2026 school year. Whether your child is just beginning their journey in junior high or stepping into the final years of high school, we are thrilled to welcome all of our students back into the building.

We are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and academically engaging environment where each student can thrive. Over the summer, our staff has been hard at work preparing classrooms, refining curriculum, and implementing new strategies to ensure your child receives the highest quality education. 

We believe that a strong partnership between school and home is essential to student success. Communication will continue to be a top priority this year, and we encourage you to stay connected through our website, newsletters, social media platforms, and parent-teacher conferences. Your involvement, support, and feedback are invaluable to us.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teachers, counselors, or our administrative team if you have any questions or concerns. We are here to support not only your child, but your entire family, every step of the way.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. Together, let’s make this school year one of growth, discovery, and memorable achievements.
