Advising Now Open!

The fall advising calendar is now open. Please schedule with your assigned advisor for a time that works best for you and a parent. Graduating Seniors have priority and should schedule for the first available appointment with their advisor. At your advising meeting, you and your advisor will plan your next semester's schedule, review your Individual Academic & Career Plan (ICAP), discuss any current academic needs, and celebrate your successes. Please reach out to your advisor if your parent cannot make the meeting or would prefer to join virtually. We look forward to meeting with you soon!

*Mrs. Nordgren's students will note she is offering virtual-only appointments on Mondays and Fridays and in-person appointments on Tues, Weds, and Thurs.

Presenting Twelfth Night on November 4th and 5th

Twelfth Night is widely regarded as the summit of Shakespeare's comic vision, signaling the close of a decade of comic writing and ushering in a darker landscape of plays that he continued to write until his death. It weaves together four seperate plotlines that perfectly merge to create a masterful ending. Twelfth night encompases a refreshing and triumphant tone of sunny celebration that all can enjoy.
