Welcome to the third trimester of the school year. As you read this there are only 44 school days until graduation!

We are thrilled to have so many talented athletes as well as theater performers in our community.

As we begin the push toward the end of the year please make note of our celebrations, programming, and offerings.

The local P.E.O.
