Have a great long weekend, Pirates!

You did it, Seniors! Happy last day of high school. It's such a beautiful thing to observe our senior class wrap up their last finals and pick-up their caps & gowns together with smiles on their faces. Graduation is an impressive milestone, and we look forward to celebrating with you in the coming weeks! If you need anything between now and our next touch points (Senior Awards Night, Grad Rehearsal, etc), don't hesitate to reach out or swing by the Main Office.
9th-11th graders: Let's close out these last 3 weeks (13.5 school days) strong and enjoy our time together!
