“We are proud of the dedication shown by our students and staff across the junior high and high school,” said Todd Evers, Grades 6–12 Principal. “The Commendable designation at the high school is an accomplishment worth celebrating, while the junior high designation gives us a clear opportunity to examine our practices, strengthen instruction, and provide additional support where it is needed.
