• After four long years of educational excellence and personal growth, all graduates deserve a trophy to celebrate their achievements. This year, we have the opportunity to make their senior year truly memorable. One way we can accomplish this is by making sure every senior leaves with a lasting memento - a yearbook. A yearbook isn’t just a collection of photos and quotes, it's a record of memories that will be treasured for years to come. Unfortunately, not every student will be able to afford one. This is where we need your help. When purchasing a yearbook this year for your student, select one of the “Yearbook Supplements” (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) to donate to a fund that will go towards providing yearbooks to Eagles in need. Imagine the joy on each senior’s face when they flip through their book, reading about their friends, their achievements, and memories they forgot. We don’t want anyone to miss out on this irreplaceable experience. By contributing to this fund, you’re fostering a sense of unity in our community and ensuring everyone remembers high school, not just the students who can afford it. Let’s come together to make sure we meet our goal because everyone deserves to remember high school. Please consider donating today, and thank you for your generosity and support.

• Coffee Talks 2024: I am excited to announce COFFEE TALK dates for the rest of the year. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend: Thursday, December 5, 7:30 am, Union Special - 2409 Crabtree Blvd.

• STUDENT OFFICE HOURS: The following dates and times are available for students to visit me. There is no need to make an appointment. 
  

  • WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 6:45-7:20am  & 2:30-3:30pm
