Parents, Teachers, and Students

Hispanic Heritage month is celebrated September 15 through October 15.

This year's theme is Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together. We look forward to a fun-filled month that highlights, inspires, and informs on this beautiful culture.

Ava Elizabeth Rios

National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist

We could not be more proud of Ava Elizabeth Rios on her selection as a National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist. Recognition through this program is earned by being in the top 1% of high school seniors in the United States, achieving an outstanding score on the PSAT/NMSQT, excelling throughout a rigorous AP course load, and inspiring her peers through hours of community service and club activities. If you spend any amount of time with her, it is easy to recognize her superior intellect, spirit of service, and southern charm. Congratulations!
