Rachel Purnell was recently selected as Trussville Daybreak Rotary Club's Student of the Month. We are proud of you, Rachel!

Shoutout to the Dogpound! From start to finish, you brought the energy—loud, positive, and strong all night long. You created chances for the whole student body to join in and built an environment that was inclusive for everyone. The time and effort you put in during the week, before, and after the game truly showed. Our student section makes a difference, and you proved it!

New Teacher Chairs

This week, our teachers received new chairs for their classrooms. This was a much-needed upgrade and a huge undertaking. We would like to thank Coach Logan and Mr. Tidwell's students for their help organizing, assembling, and distributing chairs! They did an excellent job and were so helpful!
