Dear Parents and Students,
Congratulations to the Class of 2017, who celebrated Ring Day this Friday! And heartfelt thanks to their senior homeroom teachers, Ms. Angioletti, Ms. Crosson, and Mr. Stordeur, who worked so hard to make the day beautiful and special.
Very best wishes to our own Dr. Dooley and his lovely bride, Lily, who were married last Saturday, April 23rd. More faculty weddings to celebrate in the weeks ahead!
And not to throw ice on the party, but AP exams begin next week. Students should be studying independently and in small groups beyond what they are reviewing in class to prepare for these important assessments. We know our students can excel, but they do need to put in college-level effort to succeed at these college-level tests!
My best,
Jackie Brilliant
Principal
