ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

Happy Blue & Gold Party Like it's 2010 Day, EAGLE NATION!!!!!! Happy Friday! Be open enough to see the opportunities.  Be wise enough to be grateful. Be courageous enough to be happy.  We are almost ready to turn the calendar from April to May, which means we are inching closer to the end of the school year.  Check out the scores and highlights below. 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 in the next couple of weeks. 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!




Fun fact of the day:  The unicorn is the national animal of Scotland. It was chosen because of its connection with dominance and chivalry, as well as purity and innocence in Celtic mythology.
