We are in need of jersey sponsors for this year's Pink Out Game on 10/09/2026! Let’s come together to make sure every Warrior football player has someone special to play for, and that we honor as many fighters, survivors, and warriors in our community as possible.
If you or someone you know is able to sponsor, please consider joining us in this powerful cause. Let’s ensure that every player steps on the field with a name close to their heart.
Together, we fight. Together, we honor. 💗

Counselors will be visiting classrooms next week to meet with freshman to do minute meetings. This is an opportunity to get to know every incoming freshman on their caseloads and for counselors to answer any questions students may have.
On September 22nd and 23rd, counselors will meet with seniors to present information on how to apply to colleges, Common App, Financial Aid, and the overall college process. This is a presentation that seniors do not want to miss.

Parking passes for 26/27 will follow the same procedures as in years past. You can pay the fee through eFunds on Skyward, or via cash, or check.

In order to maximize learning opportunities and support student well-being, students are expected to place cell phones in a phone caddy in each classroom at the start of every class. The phone they place in their caddy should be their actual device and not an old phone! Students are also expected to have all headphones and earbuds removed and stored away during class.
Students are NOT permitted to take cell phones in the bathroom or when using a hall pass.
Parents/Families: Your student will have limited access to their cell phone during the school day. If you have an urgent matter, please contact the main office to get a hold of your student. 248.956.4400
If students fail to comply, devices will be stored in the office for the day. Repeated misuse will result in disciplinary actions. Your support and cooperation are appreciated!
