Save the Date: Knights Unite
Our annual Knights Unite back to school event will be held the evening of Tuesday, August 11.
Steiner Ranch Bus Route: Postponed
We will not be able to offer bus transportation for students from Steiner Ranch in the fall, as previously hoped. Due to the effects of COVID-19 and social distancing requirements, we cannot fill a bus to capacity, which makes it cost-prohibitive. We will evaluate this project again in the spring of 2021. We appreciate the input of all who participated in our survey.
