Bravo!!!🎵Our talented choirs filled the high school halls with the sound of music tonight. The show was terrific, from Elton John to Katy Perry's chart-topping melodies, to the bravery of our very own vocalists. 🎤The joy of performance was evident, and each choir beamed under the direction of Mrs. Clare Yurasek. Well done! #takeabow

Career Day is tomorrow, and we are so excited! 🥳 It's a great opportunity for students to learn about CTE courses in high school as well as learn from the many professionals who graciously volunteer to spend their day with teenagers. 🙏🏻 Since we won't have traditional classes tomorrow, we're asking that all students leave their backpacks at home. 🚫🎒We'll also have a concession stand, so be sure to bring cash if you'd like to purchase snacks throughout the day. 💙🦅🍿#careerday2023
