Excellence in Academics!

The Commons was packed with high school students and parents who gathered to celebrate high academic achievement on Wednesday, May 4, 2016.  The Academic Awards Banquet was catered by Mrs. Julie Carr and her Foods/Nutrition class.  They sure know how to cook because dinner was delicious!  Middle/High School Principal Abe Lewis gave some opening remarks and offered many kudos to the students who lettered in academics.  Assistant Principal Jeanette Baker handed out certificates and congratulated each recipient.  Four student speakers representing each class delivered well-thought out, well-written speeches. It was a perfect addition to this year's banquet!


Freshman Amina Scaletty spoke on behalf of the Class of 2019.  




Representing the Class of 2018 was Maly Sears.








Tanner Pitts gave his speech for the Class of 2017.  

On behalf of this year's graduating class, Steven Jacobs represented the Class of 2016.
