Greetings, Falcon Families!
Thank you to everyone who came out to cheer for our football team as they battled RFK at our Homecoming game last night! It was an exciting game despite the loss. We are also proud of our amazing royalty finalists and our Homecoming King and Queen, Salvador Medina and Katherine Perez!
Our FFA/Ag students continue to work hard during the fair, all while making sure their regular coursework is being maintained. This shows dedication and is truly impressive. A continued thanks to the teachers and faculty who work tirelessly in helping our students achieve their goals.
Conditioning for winter sports (soccer, wrestling, and basketball) will begin soon - please make sure you’ve submitted your student’s athletic packet and sports physical!
