Tuesday, May 13th will be our Celebration of Achievement night for seniors. This is a semi-formal ceremony, please dress accordingly. Students being recognized will have a short informational meeting Friday, May 9th during advisory.
On Friday May 16th, seniors need to be loaded on buses that will pull out at 8:50 am sharp to head to the walkthrough at each campus in our district. Seniors are not allowed to drive and participate at the building walkthroughs. Seniors should wear their graduation attire to this. Once we return to the high school, we will line up alphabetically according to the graduation program and proceed with the actual graduation practice in the safe room. Students will receive their permanent folders with all of the records the school has on file from their educational journey.

Students volunteered to wrap the presents after school, then used their advisory time to deliver the gifts to the Nursing Home. Great job to our students and to the History Club Advisers, Mr. Harvell and Ms. Freeman.
