8th Graders - Want to Tour The High School?
Eighth graders will enter the PAC where they will be divided into groups to see the school, learn about electives, meet a few of the teachers, and ask any questions they might have!
Because of COVID protocols, parents are asked to either wait in their cars in the parking lot or come back to pick your student up at 10:00 AM. We hope to see all our 8th graders on the 14th!
Parents - if you cannot drop off at 9, we will have transportation from the middle school, so your student can come at regular school time and we will transport them to the high school. There will also be a virtual tour if you cannot attend.

District Track Meet Results
This track season might of been the most intense, interesting, and complicated track season there could be. With that being said our boys worked to overcome every single obstacle in their way. Our 7th and 8th grade boys worked all year for the chance to win district.
The 7th grade team started off strong with a huge group working for a spot on the team. This group of young men and women worked each and everyday to push each other and make each other better. With a limited number of spots for district, everyone worked hard but always maintained a team mentality. No matter what field event you tried or running event you ran, everyone helped the team. The 7th grade boys won district by overwhelming fashion.
The 8th grade boys are a true underdog story. All year we knew that we were going to have a small group of boys in track, but with their willingness to work for what they wanted, we knew we had a chance. At the meet we had a total of 15 boys that participated in the events. That is unheard of! (A typical team brings around 25). These young men banded together to work as a family, in which everyone sacrificed something at the hopes of winning district. So many young men stepped up and ran events they had never done before. At the end of the night the 4x4 would decide the district title. With each teammate participating in at least 3 events we were able to win district.
The 8th Grade Girls finished fourth overall, but the competition was extremely challenging. We were extremely proud of the two district championships we brough home.
Both boys groups took home the district title and continued the legacy of middle school district champs 6 years in a row. Thank you for all of the parents, kids and teachers who made this possible.
