High School exams are rescheduled for January 3rd as a review day and exams will be on January 4th and 5th. We need all students to check google classroom for information from your teacher(s) the next two days. Starting tomorrow all sports practices and games are suspended until further notice. Coaches will need to contact the athletic director with questions. As of now, we will return to school on January 3rd, 2022.
