π¬ A Note from Mr. Zach DeVito
Good afternoon Jaguar Nation!
Congratulations to our Symphonic Winds Band on earning another UIL Sweepstakes award. This continued excellence reflects the dedication and talent of our students and directors. In addition, our entire Fine Arts department achieved straight β1β ratings across band, choir, and orchestra. Our students are performing at exceptionally high levels, and we are proud of their accomplishments.
Rock Hill High School hosted an outstanding vertical art show this week in collaboration with Jones, Hays, and our elementary feeders . Thank you to Mr. Grissom and Ms. Baker for their leadership in showcasing the incredible work of our Jones Middle School artists.
Finally, congratulations to our track athletes who set multiple school records yesterday at the Rock Hill meet. Your hard work and commitment continue to raise the bar for excellence.
As a reminder, next week is a four-day week, with no school on Friday.
Have a great weekend! Go Jags!
