Attitude
I want to commend our students for an amazing prom experience on Saturday. Our scholars looked amazing and their conduct was exemplar. I am super proud of each of you.
Let's continue to have a strong year with our discipline, we still have improvement to make but we getting better each and every day. Be smart these finally 20 days of school and do not put yourself in a bad situation.
The temperature is rising but this does not mean our shorts should be rising.
Scholars, please make sure we are staying dress code compliant these last few days of school.
I want to challenge all of our students to zero out of school suspensions for the final month of school. We have done it for several months and I would love to see us finish the final month without any suspensions.
