The 2024-25 school year is underway! Our campus is once again filled with the friendly hustle-and-bustle we all know so well. From catching up with old friends to making new ones, our students, faculty, and staff are looking forward to an amazing year ahead! Throughout the year, we will continue to remind our students, parents, and guardians of our parking protocols and traffic mitigation efforts. Occasionally, a few individuals may need additional reminders. If you notice anyone not following the appropriate protocols, please do not hesitate to contact our Security Team. They will follow up in a timely manner with any individuals requiring another reminder.
