Pictures Are Ready For Pick Up
If you ordered a picture packet at orientation, they are ready to be picked up in the Finance  Office before school, during lunch and after school.

Make Up Picture Day
The last make up picture day is scheduled for Tuesday, October 9.  Students will receive a pass from their first period teacher.  If, for some reason, they did not get a pass they can just go to the wrestling room during lunch and get their picture taken.  

Student Drop Off and Pick Up

For the safety of our students, the alley at the back of the school is closed during drop-off and pick-up time, before and after school. 

Athletes carrying athletic apparel will need to walk to the locker room from either parking lot. Thank you for your understanding.
