Attention All Drivers

We are seeing cars going across the front of the school building and then enter the south drive going the wrong way. Please, even if you get to school early, do not use the front drive. Go all the way around the building; going the opposite way will lead to an accident.

Stallions in the Spotlight

Mr. Garrick, Mrs. Mascarin and Mrs. Dufault, with their Family HR 209 hosted a March Madness Pop-a-Shot contest fundraiser during lunch periods last week. Congratulations to the top scorer in each lunch period: sophomore Ashton Boyd, sophomore Brian Granger, and senior Mitchell Arthur. They all received a Chipotle gift card. The overall champ, Mitchell, will challenge principal Mr. Garrick this week. Proceeds go to Star House, part of our Lenten service program.

Congratulations to junior Max Shulaw who was named Outstanding Wrestler of the 2023 Boys Division 2 State Tournament.
