Mustang News - December 10th, 2021
From The Principal...
It is hard to believe that we are already approaching mid-December. We are heading into our last week of school before Winter Break, and finals are on the minds of our students. I will again share the schedule for the end of next week. Now that we have reached the mid-point of the school year, I want to remind families and students to always feel free to reach out to our staff, counselors, front office support, or administrators with any concerns, frustrations, successes, or celebrations. We want to help when needed, while also recognizing accomplishments. I am proud of our student body as they have progressed through the school year thus far. Good luck with your finals Mustangs!
