Middle/High School
During A, B, and C lunches, students from grades 6-12 will donate wrapped candy into boxes to receive a vote for their teacher of choice. Whichever box gets the most candy in it will cause the chosen teacher to get pied in the face during our next pep rally! The options are Mr.Levin, Mr. Nettleton, Mr. Kirvin, and Coach Glenn!
Registration for Modified, JV, and Varsity Winter Sports is open. Please see the link below.

Fun fact of the day: Your tongue is covered with roughly 8,000 taste buds, each containing up to 100 cells, which are what help you to taste food.
