FBLA headed to Springfield this morning to compete in state competition. Good luck ladies!
It’s National Library Week, and we’re taking a moment to celebrate two of our school’s unsung heroes — Courtney Hall and Micah Kirby!
These two do so much more than keep our library organized and full of life — they’re also at the heart of our Title instruction, working every day to support student learning in meaningful ways. Whether it’s helping a student find their next favorite book or delivering impactful lessons, Courtney and Micah bring the passion and purpose!
Thank you both for all you do to make our school a place where students grow, learn, and feel supported. We are lucky to have you!
