Elementary students are not allowed to have Valentine's Day gifts delivered to the school. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.
We have placed all of our lost and found items in the cafeteria for parents to go through tonight. Please take the time to go there and try to locate your student's belongings.
More Than the Score
Some of the most meaningful moments in Lady Lions basketball happen before the opening tip.
For the past two seasons, junior Charis Wright has helped lead a student-initiated tradition of bringing both teams together in prayer before Varsity girls basketball games. What began as an idea among teammates has grown into a powerful moment of unity, reflection, and purpose.
This microblog story highlights how one quiet act of leadership has influenced others, including younger athletes watching from the stands. It is a reminder that character, faith, and sportsmanship matter just as much as the final score.
