They drove the buses.
They kept things in check.
They survived hours of teenage dancing 💃🕺
Safe to say… our chaperones deserve an award 🏆
(And a special shoutout to our tiniest helper of the night 😉)
Thank you to our incredible staff for making Prom 2026 such a fun, safe, and unforgettable night! ✨

Our third graders worked so hard and absolutely rocked their very first year of state testing! 🎉 To celebrate, they spent time creating, playing games, and just enjoying being together. “Spoons” was a class favorite—full of laughter, excitement, and a little friendly competition! 🥄

🎓 Senior Spotlight – Chance Smith 🎓
We are shining the spotlight on our graduating Class of 2026!
🎓 Plans after graduation:
After graduation, I plan to join the electrical union and attend technical school to build my skills and knowledge. I hope to gain hands-on experience through union training while completing coursework, move out to become more independent, and earn my journeyman license as quickly as possible to build a strong career as an electrician.
🌟 Favorite Subject:
Gym was my favorite because it was enjoyable and came easy to me. I also found residential construction, woodworking, electrical engineering, welding, and machining to be the most beneficial since they gave me valuable hands-on experience.
🌟 Favorite Teacher:
Mrs. Lane — she made class enjoyable and engaging, even on days when motivation was low, and always found ways to keep students involved.
🌟 Best Memory:
Playing football with my friends, being in the moment, and making memories without worrying about anything else.
🌟 Activities:
Football, Baseball
🌟 What I’ll Miss Most:
Seeing my friends every day and having something to look forward to.
🌟 Advice for Younger Classmen:
Enjoy every moment you have while you still can.
We’re so proud of you, Chance! Best of luck on your next chapter! 🧡🖤
