Attention All High School Parents:

The Parent Advisory meeting scheduled for Wednesday, October 10, 2014 has been rescheduled to the following week, Thursday October 18, 2014 at 5:30.  An agenda for this meeting will be forthcoming. 

Dear Students and Parents:

We just wanted to say, “thank you” for such a great start to our 2014-15 school year! We have been struggling through these hot, humid days, but our students have kept smiles on their faces and continued to learn. As we begin our new year we would like to stress that our number one priority is to provide a safe and healthy environment in which students can learn and grow. Students received a copy of the school handbook, which outlines our agreed upon Code of Conduct and Student in Good Standing. Please review the handbook with your child.   If you are driving your child to school please drop them off in the circle in front of the gym. This change is for safety reasons.

We would like to remind you about a few important upcoming events:

September 9, 2014 – 6pm: Senior Planning Night with the School Counselors

September 12, 2014 - 7:15am: Freshmen Parent Breakfast

September 18, 2014 - 6pm: Parent Night

October 8 – 11, 2014 – Homecoming Week

We will keep updating this site with new pictures and events so please visit often!

Go Raiders!
