A little closer...
Let's give a warm Tiger welcome to preschool teacher, Mrs. Abel!
Good morning, Tigers! We hope everybody remained safe and minimal damage was had from the storms last night.
We ask that if you are attending the 8th Grade Promotion, that you park at the high school. And if you are attending the softball game, parking can be found at the middle school. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
(Can you believe there is only TWO days left?!)
Still counting down...
UPDATE: Due to the chances of Tornados 8th grade promotion will be postponed to tomorrow May 20th at 7pm at the High School. We apologize for the change of plans after a message was sent out stating it would go on as normal. Again no promotion tonight it will be Tuesday May 20th.
Stay safe tonight, Tigers!
Due to the weather forecast for rain in the middle of the day and severe storm chances increasing at 4pm throughout the evening, tonight's softball games have been postponed. The Monday & Tuesday schedule will now be a Tuesday & Wednesday schedule.
Let's give a huge Tiger welcome to our preschool director, Brie Williams!
Counting down....

It's graduation day for the Class of 2025! Congratulations!!
Graduation is such a special time, both for the graduate and the people who love them! It marks an important milestone. It's a time of completion and recognition of hard work and achievement. There can be a lot of emotions, too – excitement, nervousness, and nostalgia as you close one chapter of your life and begin a new one full of opportunities, possibilities, and uncertainty.
Struggling to decide what to do after graduation is, and always will be, a sort of rite of passage to the next phase of your life. Like a parachute, your mind must be open to function. If you don’t like where you’re going, change direction. “The road to success is always under construction.” – Lily Tomlin
You and you alone are the only person who can live the life that writes the story you were meant to tell. You are your best thing, and we are sending you off on your next great adventure.
"Now go, and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here." – Neil Gaiman
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill
