8th Grade Resources

Future Freshmen!

Academics matter!   Involvement matters!  Character matters!

Annually we hold a "High School Opportunities Night." This event is for all families with students in grades 8-11, however, it is strongly encouraged for all 8th grade students and parents/guardians to attend, as this event is also part one of our Freshmen Orientation.

We invite all students in grades 8-11 and their parents to attend this event here at the high school on Monday, February 10th, 2025.
