• The 10th & 11th grade field trip to the Charlotte Motor Speedway and Albemarle Lithium Facility will take place on April 7, 2025.  The total cost of the field trip is $86.  Since the students who signed up for the field trip have already paid a deposit of $30, the balance now due is $56.  Students who are already signed up for the field trip can stop by Mr. Kauder’s classroom (room 114) during homeroom or at lunchtime by Wednesday, March 12th to drop off the second payment.  Students are welcome to pay in cash or by check.  However, if a student is planning to pay in cash, they should bring exact change.
