Weekly Message from Principal, Mr. Drew Weekly Message from Principal, Mr. Drew

EOC retest letters went home with students last week. Parents, if your child is in Biology, English 2, Math 1 or Math 3 it is very important that this letter is signed and returned as soon as possible. This letter gives your child the right to retest if they are not proficient on their EOC exams and improve their overall grade. Please return your letters to your teachers or at the front desk.


FAFSA night was a huge success with Amy Denton from CFNC. If you were unable to attend it is not too late to meet with Mr. Brunson and your counselor to set up your CFNC account and apply for financial aid. See them this week to make sure you complete your FAFSA as soon as possible.


Attention Graduates Patrick from Herff Jones will be here on November 16 during 2nd Block to meet with all graduates in the Media Center and provide information on how to order your cap and gown.
