Parents of 6th - 12th-grade students who are planning on participating in sports. As of the current 24-25 school year, we have a new way to register your students for sports participation. Please follow the instructions in the attached document.

Good Morning, I want to reiterate the necessity to meet with ALL seniors and at least one parent prior to the start of the school year. I have set aside time in my schedule, August 12th - 15th and the 19th - 22nd, between 10am and 2pm. This meeting time is essential to ensure that you and your senior have a map of their credits, expectations, and needs toward their journey to graduation. After the 22nd, I will not have time in my schedule to meet as I will need to be available to other classes and needs. I have four meetings on my schedule at this point. Please, ensure you are taking advantage of this time while it is available. Best, Principal Loren Finley
