8th Graders, We Need Your Help!
The 7th grade history team is missing many copies of the novels Code Talkers and Under a War Torn Sky. They were handed out before the pandemic. If you have a copy of these books we lent out last year, please return. There will be a cart set up outside the 8th grade sub school for book drop offs. Thank you for your help as we try to recover lost books.
Buy a Yearbook Today!
Don't delay, we sold out the past two years.

If your child does not have a complete selection of classes, please email their counselor (see counselor contact information below).
If upon reviewing this information, you decide to make changes to your student’s course request, please notify your child’s counselor. All schedule change requests must be made in writing and completed by June 8th.
