Bobcats shared an incredible first week of Hispanic Heritage Month. We look forward to 3 more weeks of being immersed in new and interesting cultures and shaping the future together.

It is finally fall, and by now students have settled into a routine and have hopefully developed useful strategies to balance their academics, sports, and club activities. We begin district benchmark testing in October, in addition to the SAT, PSAT, ACT and WIN test for college and career readiness. Let's encourage our best efforts and take advantage of the various tutoring services offered from teachers, classmates, and the resources available via SC Discus with tutor.com.
