Principal's Message
Happy Friday Wolverines,
This week our amazing Driver's Education teachers hosted a visit from the “Share the Road” organization. All students in HPE10/Drivers Education were able to attend the simulation and learn about sharing the road with trucks. We would like to thank all involved for their time and work with our students.
I hope you all have a great weekend!
Jessica Statz, Principal
