Homecoming Week is HEREEEEE!!!
October is National Principals' Month
School principals are dedicated and empathetic leaders who create an environment that fosters learning, growth, and development. They constantly strive to improve the school experience for their students and put their needs first. They serve as a source of inspiration, motivation, and encouragement for the school community, preparing students for the challenges of the real world. Without school principals, the education system would not be as excellent as it is today. We should appreciate and thank them for their commitment to improving our schools.
We are blessed to have Ms. Etheridge and Ms. Cole lead our schools. Their contributions do not go unnoticed!
Homecoming Dance coming up for Grades 09-12 students. If you are bringing a outside guest, get the approval form in the main office ASAP.
