Good morning, Falcons!

Students can be suspended for selling on campus and face fines. Students caught using fireworks, confetti eggs, and water guns face suspension from all activities, detention, and items will not be returned.


Huge shoutout to all the classes who participated in the March Madness door decorating contest - what a great turnout!  Also, big kudos to Mr. Boos for organizing the entire thing!  And now, with no further ado, we’ll announce the top 3!

  • In 3rd place, Mrs. Walker!

  • In 2nd place, Mrs. Waybright

  • And….the winner of tomorrow’s pizza party is….. Mrs. Sherrill’s 3rd period class!  Congratulations!

We’ll still be awarding donuts to the class whose team goes the farthest in the tournament!  Stay tuned!


Congratulations to our baseball and softball teams for their victories over BHS yesterday!  Keep up the great work!
