Dear High School Families:
Our thoughts and prayers have been with those suffering from the effects of the devastating fires ravaging our region. Because some of our families are in evacuation readiness and due to poor air quality, we have decided it prudent to close for the rest of this week. Despite the challenges with the fires, we did really enjoy spending time with our grandparents during the school day and at a chapel in their honor. It is always a meaningful day, as we are able to reflect upon the great significance of our grandparents, and spend some quality time! We also had successful PSAT testing, as our students have the opportunity to take the PSAT at school in grades 8-11. Next week, we will celebrate Homecoming, which will culminate in the annual float parade and dance.
Please stay safe,
Joseph Rowland
