Student Pick Up and Drop Off Locations
In the morning, student drop off will be along Sampson Street where students will be able to enter through the gate and main entrance.
Please drop your child off on the school side of the street so they do not have to cross through traffic. 
 
In the afternoon, car pick up is along Jefferson Street only. Students must exit out the end of the sophomore hallway and meet their vehicle on Jefferson Steet. Students will not be allowed to cross Sampson Street to meet vehicles.
Visitor and Parent Parking
Parking for parents and visitors to our campus is parallel parking on Sampson Street.  The only entrance for visitors and parents is our main entrance on Sampson Street.  In order to meet safety and security needs all other doors will be locked.
Official ADA Time
Energy's official ADA time this year is
10:10 AM. 
Please schedule your child's appointments so that he or she is back to school by 10:10 AM or leaves after 10:10 AM. We receive our funding based on attendance at this time. Funding allows us to provide more for your child!
Special Thanks

 
 
 

Tenth grade students participating in the 2016 PetroChallenge! 

Sponsored by IPAA/PESA, Schlumberger, and OXY, students compete in a two day oil drilling simulation and competition.  Today teams read seismic maps and determined how to spend their 200 million dollar budget.  The competition concludes tomorrow as we announce the first, second, and third place winners and award them with a prize check!
Important Updates
Energy families, 

If you have not purchased a Energy polo for your student, you need to buy one as soon as possible. Energy polos are required for guest speaker events, competitions, and field trips.

January 19th and 20th tenth grade students will be participating in PetroChallenge.  Each student must have their Energy polo for this event.  The PTO will be selling polos tomorrow morning at 7:30am.  The polos are $25 and can also be purchased via credit card online at The Energy Store.  

Next Thursday, January 28th, ninth grade students will have a guest speaker event and will need to be in an Energy polo.  Students will now be given detention if they are not wearing a school polo at these required events.
