It's time for this year's 9th graders to receive laptops! As a part of our technology goals, we ensure that every high school student has a laptop to take home each day.

Parents and students: Thank you for your patience with possible schedule change requests. Please know that we are working diligently on all requests and will have them completed as quickly as possible.
