Class of 2025 Information

Notice about 1st Semester Transcripts and School Reports:
For those of you applying to college, please know that it takes some time to finalize grades and ready transcripts to send with Mid-Year Reports. Once the transcripts are ready, I will send Mid-Year Reports for every student with an application through the Common Application. I will send a message to students letting them know when I am ready to send those reports.
Please exercise patience and keep in mind we are ahead of traditional calendar high schools as they are currently still in their first semester.
If you need support, please let me know.
Thank you!
Ryan Haymore, Counselor and Dean of Students
