ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

Happy Thursday,  EAGLE NATION!!!!!! Focus on the good and let the rest follow. Remember, tomorrow is  Blue & Gold Party Like it's 2010 Day.  It was a mixed night of results on the diamond last night, and it was a successful night for the Modified Track team.  Check out the scores and highlights.  Only three weeks left for JV and Varsity sports regular season until postseason play starts, so make sure you get out to catch a game/event.  The temperature is rising, finally, and it looks like a stretch of nice weather, except for all-day rain on Saturday.  There is a lot of action over the next three days. Check out the schedule below for the season (please know that weather can cause dates and times to be subject to change for games and events). 

Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!


Shout out to Emma Menge for reaching 100 strikeouts in her career last night.


Fun fact of the day: The heart of a shrimp is located in its head. They also have an open circulatory system, which means they have no arteries and their organs float directly in the blood.


  • 35 more class days left of school for Jr/Sr High

  • 32 Days till Memorial Day
