We are thrilled to welcome all our Eagles back to the nest for the 2024-2025 school year!


As we embark on this new journey together, we are committed to ensuring a productive and safe environment for every student. This year, we are especially excited to be a part of Dr. Jymil Thompson, Superintendent's initiative, "#23NoMore," which aims to dramatically increase student success both in and out of the classroom.



Here's to a fantastic year ahead, filled with learning, growth, and achievement. Let's make it the best one yet!


Go Eagles!
