A Letter from the Principal
Thank you for your love and dedication.
Parents and students,
What a great start to the 2017-2018 school year it has been. I hope everyone has found their back-to-school rhythm by now.
I’d like to take a moment to remind everyone that our mission is to provide each and every student with the best, most rigorous education possible so that our students graduate 100% college and career ready. Everything we do must be centered on that. I’m surrounded by a great staff and parents to see that mission through. Thank you, parents, PTO and community leaders for your love and dedication to our students.
Students- you have a big job in front of you. We are all here to help you be successful. I want each one of you to show up (on time) every day. Do your best, and carry yourself with respect for others. You can’t go wrong with that advice!!!
Eric Watson, Ed. S.
