Good morning Polar Bear Nation. Our students have begun testing this morning. We kindly ask to maintain testing integrity, please do not come to the school for your student until after testing is complete.

Attention Polar Bear Nation: Tomorrow is a big day in your student's high school career. They are taking the PSAT9, PSAT10 or SAT and we need them to do their very best. A good SAT score can take you places you've been dreaming of! Please help your student by giving them lots of sleep tonight, a good dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow. Especially important is to charge that Chromebook tonight. They will be using it for testing tomorrow. LETS GO BEARS

Check this out! What a difference! In preparation for the 100th anniversary of the main building's construction, as well as just for a general spring cleaning, we had 304 SoftWash clean up the sidewalks and stonework on the main building. Cam was great to work with, very professional and works very quickly. So if you need anything powerwashed, please consider 304softwash.com and contact Cam today.

Attention Polar Bear Nation: Starting tomorrow morning we are having the stonework on the main building as well as sidewalks power washed. This means building use and access will be limited by the work crew. Hopefully, if all goes well, power washing will be complete by Friday evening. Seniors may want to wait until Saturday if you are taking pictures.
