ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

HAPPY Wednesday, Eagle Nation! Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside of you that is greater than any obstacle. We had some amazing action at Track & Field last night and on the diamonds, so make sure to check out the highlights below.  


Today's Varsity Baseball and Softball games have been rescheduled for tomorrow.

The school year will be over before we know it, as we only have 26 class days left in high school, so make sure you stay on top of everything, so you pass all your classes and don't have to attend summer school.  

  • Spring Sports will be over in the blink of an eye, with only a few games/meets left, so get out to catch some games and meets before it's too late. Varsity and JV sports regular season wrap up around the 16th, with modified teams finishing the following week.

As we get into the final stretch of the school year, remember there are many events, so keep tuned in, as there are a lot of moving parts.

Fun fact of the day:  Chainsaws were first invented for childbirth. It was developed in Scotland in the late 18th Century to help aid and speed up the process of symphysiotomy (widening the pubic cartilage) and removal of disease-laden bone during childbirth. It wasn’t until the start of the 20th Century that we started using chainsaws for woodchopping.

Did you know?  In order to prevent disaster, a black underwear policy is enforced on Major League Baseball umpires while on the job in case they split their pants.
