As another exciting school year approaches, we are looking forward to welcoming our students, staff, and community back for the 2026–27 school year. Summer has been a season of preparation, and we are eager to celebrate the opportunities that lie ahead.

This year's theme, We "R" What We Do: Rooted in Excellence, reflects our commitment to creating exceptional experiences for every student through the dedication, passion, and excellence of our staff.
