We look forward to sharing the successes of our school and students with you on a regular basis as well as share detail regarding some of our activities. First we would like to note that the Father/Student Night has been changed to October 22nd from the 15th due to a scheduling conflict. Mark your calendars, for this fun night, more information will be released soon.
