News and Announcements

Welcome Back!  Welcome to School Year 2023-2024.  For those of you in the sophomore and junior classes, you should be getting about the business of deciding what you will be doing after high school. For those of you in the senior class, you should be at the point where you know what you want to do and are into the process of making it happen.  For our entering 9th-graders, high school will go by much faster than you can imagine and freshman year is important.  High school is not quite the same as middle school; the grades you earn here really stay with you.  If you fail a class it's a big deal.  Don't waste your time.
