Attention Juniors and Seniors:
This is a reminder that the last day to buy prom tickets is tomorrow, Thursday, April 23rd, during all lunches.
If you plan to bring an out-of-school date, your permission form must be completed and turned in to Student Services by the end of 1st period tomorrow so that your date can be approved before you buy their ticket during lunch. No out-of-school dates who were not pre-approved will be allowed to attend prom.
A few additional reminders:
- Prom will be held from 8-11 PM at Ates Ranch, 5992 Jeff Ates Road, Milton.
- All prom attendees must present a picture ID and their prom ticket before gaining entrance to prom.
- All prom attendees are expected to adhere to all school rules and policies.
- Prom is an alcohol and drug-free event. If students are found to be under the influence of any intoxicating substance, they will be denied entry, and their parents will be called to come pick them up.
- Students who choose to leave the dance early must leave the event grounds completely and will not be allowed to return. (No loitering in the parking lot.)
- Due to our agreement with the hosting venue, refunds on purchased prom tickets cannot be given. All sales are final!
The weather may be a little rainy on Saturday, but there is no threat of major storms, so we are ready to celebrate! We can't wait to see you there!

Parking applications for the '26-'27 school year will be available to rising JUNIORS on Monday, April 13th beginning at 8:40 AM. Again, only students who have a current, valid driver's license may apply, and students will need to be able to upload a copy of their driver's license, insurance card, and vehicle registration. Rising juniors who apply during the senior application period will forfeit their opportunity to purchase parking, so please only apply during your designated timeframe.
What to expect after completing the parking application:
-MAY/JUNE 2026: Look for an email that confirms or denies your application and provides payment information (date and instructions). Payment for parking will be first come, first served, via GoFan. Once parking spots are filled, no additional payments will be permitted. Students will be added to a waiting list and will be notified if parking becomes available.
-JULY 2026: Look for an email telling you dates and times for parking decal pick-up.

Our Winter Pep Rally is tomorrow, Thursday, December 4th. We will be recognizing all of our varsity winter sports athletes, including Boys' and Girls' Soccer, Boys' and Girls' Basketball, Girls' Weightlifting, and Competitive Cheer.
If your child will NOT be attending the Pep Rally and wishes to check out early, please send a written note giving your permission for their early release (please include your signature, printed name, and phone number) and instruct them to submit the note in Cafeteria 1 at the designated table before heading to their 1st period class. All notes must be turned in by the end of 1st period.
Students who do not bring a note tomorrow morning but wish to check out before the Pep Rally will have to have a parent/guardian pick up the student in person. We will not release students otherwise. Students do have the opportunity to wait in the cafeteria during the Pep Rally if they'd rather not attend and are unable to check-out.
All of our winter teams are off to fabulous starts, and we are thrilled to celebrate them tomorrow! We hope your student will plan to join us!
Final Exams will be here before you know it! Be sure to keep an eye on your grades, and remember that GPAs will be calculated for first semester performance and noted on your Report Card, which will be available in FOCUS on January 16th, 2026.
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. We are always happy to help!

We want to make you aware that there is backed up traffic on High School Boulevard this morning due to an accident involving an adult pedestrian who was struck by an SUV on the sidewalk. We are relieved to share that everyone involved is okay.
Please expect delays in traffic flow near campus. We will be flexible with student arrival times today, as we understand this may impact morning transportation.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
