One of our favorite traditions on the last day of school is when the graduating seniors go back to visit the elementary school they attended. Young students line the halls to cheer for them as the seniors give high fives to the elementary students while in their caps and gowns. This is a fun time for everyone and means a lot to the seniors as well as the teachers who had guided them throughout their elementary years. Best of luck to the class of 2025!
Our transportation department wants to remind you that school is officially over for students this year. Have a great summer break!
