On Tuesday evening we have planned a College Credit Night for parents and students of grades 9-11.  Students and families who are interested in the many opportunities we provide to earn college credit while in high school are encouraged to attend.  Since we have opportunities for students in grades 10-12, we highly encourage coming to this program to find out what are the right options for you prior to course registration.

On Thursday, we will have our rescheduled Blood Drive.  We appreciate those students who have signed up to donate.  Please remember to begin drinking lots of water two days prior to donating.  You must eat a well-rounded breakfast Thursday before donating.
