Winter Play: It's Tough to be a Kid! BRAVO!!!

The play, It's Tough to be a Kid, was a huge success! It was such a thought-provoking glimpse into the world of middle school. Thank you to Mr. Conners and all of the actors in the play for a really great show. I was simply amazed by the talent, creativity, and effort put into this show!

Congratulations, Coach Wells!

Did you know Coach Brennan Wells, PE teacher at Hixson, also coaches WGHS varsity soccer? I just wanted to congratulate the team again on winning the state championship! Great job Coach Wells!
