Bobcat News

Thanks to all who came out for our PTO Spirit Night last Friday and watched a phenomenal 7-1 win for the Savannah Ghost Pirates. We had some really great seats for the action, and there was a LOT of action!

As we wrap up 2024 there are still many moving parts and celebrations to attend to. This week we have multiple holiday performances to enjoy, from our Bobcat Band and Orchestra to our amazing dancers, we hope to see you at these events supporting our students. And don't forget this Thursday, December 12 is our EOC Prep Rally after school from 3:50 - 6:50. These sessions have proven extremely beneficial to student success for End of Course examinations and content mastery overall. Let's make these last two school weeks of 2024 memorable and successful for all.
