ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS
Happy Friday, Eagle Nation! Nothing is impossible, as the word itself says possible. It has been a very busy few days at Eagle Nation, with sectional games and meets, concerts, and awards ceremonies. We want to take a moment to thank all our students and student-athletes for all their dedication and hard work. We also want to thank the families and the entire community for all of the support you show everyone.
