Current enrollment is about 1,160 kids. Hoping to get another 280 to get our current staffing. We have an average of 30 students to 1 teacher ratio.

Athletic Booster Club still looking for parents - ESPECIALLY ATHLETES AND THEIR PARENTS - to help work concessions. It was a busy, hectic night Fri. against Chatard - but we love taking their money!!

YES Lunch is now $1.75. A yellow flyer was handed out to the students - ASK THEM!

AVID is a new program. Each school nominated 10 sophomores who would benefit from this. Parents were invited to an information session and opportunity to sign up their kid. Meets once a day and helps the B/C or C student achieve higher grades. If you have a sophomore you think
would benefit from some extra guidance / motivation, email and we'll get your name to the appropriate person and see if there are still openings.
