From The Principal

Congratulations to our visual art students for their fantastic pieces which will be shown at the End of Year Art Show tonight from 4-6 pm–thank you also to Ms. G. and Mr. Bonner for their leadership and hard work organizing the event. Also, we hope to see folks at tonight’s inaugural Battle fo the Bands hosted in the SILC Amphitheater from 5-7 pm–thank you to Mr. Walker for coordinating this experience and Mr. Murphy who will be performing with his band! Furthermore, please also visit our awesome Robotics Team who is doing a showcase starting at 5 pm at the Manitou Heritage Center tonight!

Also, students are focused on creating tons of different projects and preparing for final exams and AP Exams over the next few weeks! We have also been busy outside the classroom with numerous student performances (shout out to our jazz band, orchestra, and band students for their performances this week and choir next week) as well as our many athletes for their awesome showings in games and especially senior events!

Next week, we have Signing Night on Wednesday, 5/7 at 6:30 pm and spring athletics finishing Mustang Strong!

Have a wonderful weekend and we hope to see you at our many events tonight!
