Goals To feel connected to our school

and to have at least one adult you

can turn to.

Socially adjusted in accepting all

people around you whether you

agree with them or not. This is what

the “real world” is all about.

Keeping each other safe both as

individuals and as a school environment. See, Say, Do.

Assisting our school personnel in assisting you to be the best version

of yourselves as we now start the

bridge to post-high school. We

want you to find your passion.

Develop well-rounded students to be competitive in not only our

school but the world through the

opportunities of academics, clubs,

sports, and intramurals.

Be a part of your Class of 2024.

Leadership is not only the

executive team/officers, but of many from the class with their

input as well.

Being role models for others

through your actions, deeds, and

words.

Understanding that our high school

is about lifting up and not putting

down.

“Guidance Counselors are the single

most important person in your child’s

life at high school. They are the keeper

of records, assist with advice and

counseling, and help to guide your

child not only through their high school

years, but also assist in their preparation

of life after high school.”
