We are sorry for the inconvenience and receiving this message at such a late notice. This day will be made up on Friday, February 16th as AMI Days are no longer permissible.

It's time for the Thunderbird Trophy to be passed along to another great Cross County staff member! Mrs. Shayna selected Mr. Hooper as the next recipient. Mr. Hooper is the College and Career Director at the high school. Mrs. Shayna passed the trophy to Mr. Hooper because she truly appreciates all he has done for our school from getting the new Rooms app up and running to taking students to visit different colleges.
