Updates from the Principal
Another week of zero positive tests from our Monday and Wednesday COVID testing. As we head into the final week of school for our seniors, we want to encourage everyone to continue practicing safety protocols and guidelines.
Though this strange year has been filled with hurdles and roadblocks, I can’t thank our students and families enough for your cooperation in helping us implement what was needed to provide an open campus for students. The return of some of our more traditional events on campus, and some of the fun things we have been able to do over the past months, have produced laughter and smiles—something that has been missed over the past year.
As we end our faculty/staff appreciation week, I hope you are able to reach out and thank our teachers and our staff, who have gone above and beyond anything, we could have imagined last spring and this school year; they have been remarkable.
Kevin Cushing, Principal
