From the Principal: Dear Seniors and families,
It was so good to see many of you this past week-265 individual graduations that warmed our hearts! We have seen lots of great pictures posted. As you could see, it took many staff members to make it a success. Thank you for your kind words of appreciation!
As soon as we have links to the Senior Salute program on June 1, and the Graduation Ceremony on June 9, we will share them with you.
Seniors, please come pick up your yard signs around the front of our building as soon as you can. Unfortunately, we have some folks who have vandalized them. Thanks!
If you have not dropped off your FCPS property, please drop them off at the cafeteria doors on June 1, between 10-12 and June 2, between 3-5.
To our Underclassmen, continue to work hard to the end! Typically, we have an awards program at the end of the year. We are planning to hold it in the fall.
