Major achieve and thrive together with purpose and pride!
Class of 2023 Senior Sunrise
Dear Major Families,
The first part of our “flight” has been amazing! Our Majors came back ready to learn and connect with their peers and teachers. While this week has been exhausting, it has been so rewarding. It brings my heart joy to have our Majors in school. This week we spent time building community and discussing the importance of names. If you haven’t already, talk to your children about the origin and/or purpose of their names. We’ve also begun to meet as a class, beginning with our Freshmen and our Juniors to set expectations and discuss plans for the year. Our Seniors also had a wonderful “Senior Sunrise” event today.
I want to remind you to make plans to join us for Back to School Night on September 1, 2022 from 6:00 - 7:30 pm, where you will have an opportunity to meet staff and faculty and learn about the curriculum and extracurricular activities. We hope you will join us afterwards for our home football game against the Justice Wolves.
Finally, I look forward to having you all join me during the first Principal Chat on September 21, 2022 from 6:00 - 7:00 pm. Please submit questions here you would like to have answered.
With Major Pride,
Principal Rogers
