Happy Graduation Weekend to our Seniors! 💙🐾
Graduation Weekend is finally here, and we are excited to celebrate the Class of 2026 this Sunday! This special weekend is a time to honor the hard work, dedication, and accomplishments of our graduates while also recognizing the support of their families, friends, and our entire community. We invite everyone to join us as we celebrate this important milestone and create lasting memories together. Thank you for continuing to support and encourage our students throughout their journey!
Around the Halls
Our juniors are presenting their Professional Portfolios and completing mock interviews today! They have worked all semester preparing for this milestone by creating resumes and cover letters, participating in job shadows and internships, completing community service projects, and building digital portfolios to showcase their skills and experiences. We are proud of the hard work, growth, and professionalism they have demonstrated throughout this process and can’t wait to see them shine!
Nothing like bringing it full circle — ending the senior year with a Senior Sunset to celebrate an amazing year and the bright future ahead. 🌅✨
Oh, the places they’ll go! 🎓💙
Physical science students are finishing the year by designing and building water rockets.
Students in Mrs. Mote’s math class are putting their problem-solving skills to the test! Using data collection, measurement, and prediction, they’re determining how many rubber bands are needed for their dolls to bungee jump as close to the ground as possible — without touching it!
Seniors took their final stroll through the halls during today’s Legacy Walk! 💙 If you missed the Legacy Walk, you can watch it on our Facebook page!
Seniors marked the end of their high school journey with a senior lunch!
