YHS Seniors and Families
Hello wonderful class of 2023!
I know spring break is just around the corner and that's likely what's on your mind right now. Before you hit those days off, I ask that you think about what's coming after break. We are headed for the home-stretch and there's a lot that comes with it. Scholarship applications, solidifying post graduation plans, finishing 4th quarter strong. We can get there together!
Please check out the information below so you don't miss out. There is a list of upcoming events for the next 3 months. And, as always, reach out if you need help with anything! Your resources include your counselor, Mrs. Mathis in the Career Center, teachers, senior class advisors, Mrs. Ronquillo in Community Outreach and more.
Class of 2023 - We've got this! :) Mrs. Mathis
