SENIOR INFORMATION
Monday, May 15, 2023: We will host our annual "Senior Walk." Seniors will meet at the high school first thing in the morning, loading a bus and going to different elementary and middle schools. This is an opportunity for the seniors to walk the hallway of those schools in their cap and gown. They will be able to see their teachers from years past and even thank them. If they want to give them a card of thanks or something, they can. Students will also see all the younger students in those schools giving high fives, fist pumps, and receiving congratulatory remarks. This opportunity is good for seniors and those younger students as they get a chance to see what a graduating senior will look like. SENIORS PLEASE FILL OUT THE SENIOR WALK 2023 FORM if you are planning to visit elementary schools. students who with to NOT participate, please pick up a form in the front office.
