The Principal's Office

I can't believe I am saying this, but we are officially in the 2nd semester. If your kiddo(s) passed all classes for the 2nd 9 Weeks, the next eligibility checkpoint will take place in March.

If your child is in High School and had a grade of a 70 or higher for the semester, your child gained half a credit. Please remember in high school, classifications are determined by credits.

0 - 5.5 Credits = Freshman

6 - 11.5 Credits = Sophomore

12 - 17.5 Credits = Junior

18 + Credits = Senior

I also want to thank you for all of your support throughout the year. Thank you for all of your support with fund raisers, community events, school activities, etc... Without you help, none of our success would be possible.
