Last week we held our 15th annual American Red Cross blood drive, sponsored by the HS Student Council and NHS students.  We want to thank all the donors that either donated blood or their time! While we didn't quite meet our goal this year, there was still enough blood collected to help save over 100 lives. We hope to see everyone again next year in March! 






ATTENTION PARENTS!
JFL and Cheer registration is open for the 2024 season. 
The PSAT and SAT for today will be rescheduled. Half of our student's tests have been cancelled due to a state ID issue with Illinois. More information to come regarding another testing date.

Our junior high book club members recently took their field trip to Iron Coyote Challenge Park after finishing their action packed book titled, The Unforgettable Logan Foster.
