Students who met the established academic and conduct criteria received a nomination letter last week, along with detailed information about eligibility and next steps.


If your student did not receive a nomination letter and you believe they meet the criteria, please contact Mrs. Conover or Mr. Lindstrom for verification.


We are proud of our Coyotes and look forward to celebrating their achievements!
