For this spring, we are also offering a special on last year's yearbook! For $25, you can purchase the 2022 yearbook if you purchase a 2023 yearbook! That's two yearbooks for $100! We will accept cash or checks for the 2022 yearbook at time of pickup of your 2023 yearbook. The 2022 yearbooks will only be available on a limited basis, so if you would like last year's book, please be ready to purchase! If you already pre-ordered a yearbook for 2023, just ask for the 2022 yearbook when picking up this year's edition (while supplies last)!

Sophomores
Watch the video that centers on the power of belief and how negative/positive thinking can impact your life. He recounts several true accounts of this from Bill Buckner's epic mistake, which cost the Boston Red Sox the World Series, and an SAT story that could change any student's life.

Freshmen
For the next several weeks, Freshmen Advisories will be exposed to ideas that can make you think about your and the things they need going forward as sophomores, juniors, and seniors. This week's video is a humorous one that has a really interesting message. Especially in today's society, students want and can access everything quickly. Instant gratification is absolutely real. This video helps you to think about the benefit of delayed gratification.
