During National School Counseling Week, we want to recognize the work our school counselors do to support, guide, and advocate for our students every day. From offering guidance and encouragement to supporting academic, social, and emotional growth, our counselors go above and beyond. Their impact reaches far beyond the classroom, and our schools are a better place because of them.

We truly couldn’t do what we do without them. Thank you for all you do for our students and our school community!

E-Learning Day 1.27.26

Mother Nature decided we needed a little winter surprise!

There will be no in-person school on Monday, January 26. We’ll be switching to an e-Learning Day, so our Lions can learn from home.

Stay warm, stay safe, build a snowman if you can, and we’ll “see” you online!
