Due to the current conditions of the football field at Thunderbird Stadium and the threat of thunderstorms this afternoon and early evening, the district administration has made the decision to host the 2019 graduation in the high school gymnasium. The ceremony will still begin at 7:00 p.m. and seniors will need to be here at 6:00 p.m. We encourage parents, family, and guests to be seated before the ceremony begins. Once the ceremony begins, if you are not in your seats, you will be held in the lobby until the teachers and graduates have entered and been properly seated.

Seniors: Reminder: Graduation practice is Thursday at 9:30. Senior breakfast will be at the Hut at 8:00. Don’t forget your cap and gown for the elementary senior walk. All seniors are required to be at practice. Please help spread the word! We are so proud of our seniors!

The 2019-2020 District Calendar has been approved:
