Today is Tuesday, September 11th, and it is a B Day.

Homecoming Week is next week September 17th-September 21st. The theme of Homecoming Week is: ‘Forever Yonge.’ The idea is to always be a kid at heart.

The three best dressed students each day will win Chick-fil-A lunch for a day. To participate you must show up in front of the cafeteria by 8AM each morning during Homecoming Week dressed to fit the theme. The results will be announced each afternoon.
