Dear Parents,

Congratulations to all of the school staff, teachers, and parents who worked so hard to help us reach this significant accomplishment.  
 
Congratulations to the Class of 2017.  We wish you continued success and may you always remember to live the Honor Code in all that you do.
 
Happy Summer to all.  Enjoy your free time.  See you in August!

Have a wonderful week,

it provides you with experiences that will remain locked forever in the scar tissue of your mind."
