Welcome Principal Harrison

Our staff, students and families are grateful for the leadership of Ms. Leach during the interim period. Last week, we were also so excited to officially welcome Jill Harrison as our new Principal.

As she jumps into this role mid year, we ask everyone be mindful of the challenges that come with the transition and to be understanding as she acclimates to her new role at a new school.

We look forward to many opportunities this spring to get to know her and welcome her to our wonderful school community!

The Adam's Family Musical

The kids at Apex Middle have been working hard to get ready to preform The Adam's Family Musical. The show opens Feb 22nd, and two Penny Road Alum are performing, Erzsi Klieman and Alex Gibb. We would love to have as many people as possible come see the show. This could be a great opportunity for our future Cougars to get a look at the school and theater program.
