Rally Schedule:
On Friday, September 13th, we will celebrate our 7th-grade students being newly knighted and honor our 8th-grade students who earned a 3.0 or above during their 7th-grade fourth quarter. Please note that this celebration will not change the student release time; school will end at 2:37 PM.
Sports Tryouts:
Sports tryouts begin on Monday, September 9th and will continue on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 3 to 4 PM. Students interested in cheer, girls' volleyball, and cross country are encouraged to participate. A late bus will be available, dropping students off at designated elementary schools. Please ensure that all sports physical packets are completed before trying out. Unfortunately due to a lack of interest in Flag football this year, we will not have a football team.
