A Message From Our Principal
This year our theme is Nothing is Impossible...Just Do It. This year we want our scholars to know that they can do anything with hard work, dedication and an education.
Please be sure to listen to your Sunday News at 7 calls, check social media, and view our bi-monthly newsletter for school updates. This will help ensure that the lines of communication stay open. I appreciate each and every one of you.
Thank you again and continue to be safe.
Principal Simmons
