Please use the front doors of the High School or North doors of the Middle School.  See "Maps and Centers."

After dropping off students, buses should park near the football field on the far East side of the High School student parking lot.

​

Do I need to look at the maps before coming to contest?

YES!!  Please familiarize yourself with the school maps where your students will be performing PRIOR to contest day!  Be sure to allow yourself plenty of time on the day of contest to find your buildings and centers.

​

Should I share the maps with my students and parents?

YES!!  Please ask them to familiarize themselves with the school maps where the students will be performing PRIOR to contest day!  Make sure the students and parents understand that there is more than one center for some events.  Knowing which center and building they are in could be crucial time savers on the day of contest.  Be sure to allow yourself plenty of time on the day of contest to find your buildings and centers.
