Bobcat News

We encourage all students and staff to wear ORANGE on Unity Day - Wednesday, October 16 to promote kindness and acceptance, and send a visible message that no child should endure bullying.

As we wrap up an exciting, informative, and inclusive Hispanic Heritage Month and prepare for spooky things at the end of October, please remember that hoodies, blankets, and slippers are not dress code items and should be left at home.

Guidance Counselors have begun Individual Grade Plans (IGP) for junior students. This means it is also time for juniors to register for the ACT or SAT. Tentatively, the date for the ACT will be Tuesday, February 25, 2025 and the SAT will be Wednesday, March 5, 2025.

See "Testing Information" for more details.
