We had a fantastic turn out for our annual Millennium Awards Ceremony. I continue to be amazed at how much effort our students put into their education. It is unbelievable when you realize how small our student body is and yet we see thousands of community service hours completed, scholarships awarded and college acceptance letters received. It is another reminder to our staff and students that school is more than just subjects and classes; you are learning how to be a contributing member of society.
We are proud of all your efforts and hope that your work ethic follows you as you move through your lives.
