National School Bus Safety Week
Earlier this week, we celebrated National School Bus Safety Week with the theme: "Safe Rides, Everyday Heroes." We are incredibly grateful for our transportation team. Rain or shine, early in the morning or late in the afternoon, their dedication, vigilance, and care ensure our students arrive safely and ready to learn.
Recognizing Our Amazing Staff
Earlier this month, our school community took time to celebrate National Custodian Day (10/2), National Coaches Day (10/6), and National Principals Month! We extend our deepest gratitude to our dedicated custodial team for working tirelessly to keep our schools clean, safe, and welcoming for every student and staff member. We also appreciate our coaches, whose mentorship continues to inspire excellence on the field, stage, and in the classroom. Finally, a special thank you to Mrs. Jensen, Mrs. Barker, Dr. Reynolds, and Mr. Vinchattle for the outstanding leadership, vision, and heart they bring to their roles as principals every single day.
We'd also like to shout out our Athletic Director, Jim Dermody, for being named the Southwest High School District Athletic Director of the Year! Thank you, Mr. Dermody, for your leadership, passion, and endless commitment to excellence both on and off the field.
