Our students are in the midst of their academic and extracurricular pursuits. Each day, we hear students say I was accepted to this university or I am wait listed and awaiting the news on my selection. It is an exciting and nerve racking time, especially as students realize that the news to come will impact their futures.
We are also in the planning phase for graduation and making sure our students are staying on top of their graduation requirements and not getting the mysterious disease that seniors get this time of the year .... The Deadly SENIORITIS bug. A senior letter will be going out to all seniors with upcoming dates and reminders of senior spring events next week. Graduation will be Friday, June 3, 2011 at 7:30 pm at Dragon Stadium.
