School News

Parents and students,

Class of 2023, we are thrilled to welcome you back for the 2018-2019 school year. We are especially excited to welcome the Class of 2024! You are the first to enjoy our newly remodeled school. The first thing you’ll notice as you walk in the building is how light it is! We have new lights which have increased the brightness considerably! We re-painted the lockers a light grey which helps make the hallways feel spacious. Classrooms have brand new furniture, new technology, new carpets, and a new electrical system to assist in our one-to-one chromebook initiative. Please be patient with us as the last finishing touches are added.

You may have noticed construction continuing in front of the building. This is going to become a second drop off area for parents. We anticipate that it will be finished by the end of October.

Ligers, if there is anything you need, please don’t hesitate to contact us! This will be a great year-
