2022-2023 Course Requests Deadline:
Attention all parents and students. This is a reminder that the course request window for students choosing their classes for the 2022-2023 school year will be closing this Thursday, February 17, 2022. Students must have all of your courses added to Skyward for the 2022-2023 school year by this date. Don’t procrastinate! See your counselor if you have any questions or concerns.
CTE Month:
February is Career & Technical Education month, and we are celebrating the value of giving students the tools to succeed in a career and at college. Check out the calendar of events just outside the Main Office, in the “B” hall and the STEM building.
To kick off CTE month, every Wednesday there will be 4 paper footballs with CTE facts on the back hung in the halls of the school. The 4 students who find these football pictures will win a prize. If you find a football, read the CTE fact on the back and take it to Mr. Wood in the Counseling Center or Mrs. Quirk in the Career Center, Room A137. Be listening during announcements for CTE Teacher Highlights and CTE trivia questions throughout February to win candy bars.
