Dear Lancers:
I hope that everyone is enjoying their summer break. We had a great 23-24 school year. I would like to personally thank our staff, families, and volunteers for helping to make it a great year! Best of luck to our rising 9th graders as they move on to high school. We are also excited to welcome back our returning lancers and meet our new lancers in August.
