PR1
We want to remind you that the Mid-Semester Progress Report (PR1) is coming up on Friday, October 16. Please be aware that any student who receives a grade below 70 in any required course (Math, Science, Humanities, English, and World Language) by the PR1 will be considered at risk of failing. These students will be assigned to a mandatory study hall during free periods and will not be eligible to participate in sports and extracurricular activities for a period of fifteen school days. This means no playing, practicing, or traveling with the team, or participating in any extended school activity.
This is a great time to check in on your progress! We encourage you to use the time leading up to PR1 to complete any missing assignments or assessments. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your teachers if you need help

SPARTAN OF THE WEEK
Congratulations to senior Land Johnson!

Land Johnson shows what it means to be a Spartan. He competes hard, battles through adversity and gives consistent effort every time he steps on the field. Land is a dependable teammate who refuses to back down from a challenge. It has been an honor to coach Land and watch him grow into the young man he is today. We are so proud of him and cannot wait to see the young man he continues to become!”
– Josh Alexander, Head Coach Varsity Football
