Today's Path Leading to Tomorrow's Success!
 

It is Homecoming weekend and we are very excited.   Come out and support our Football team and our High School students as we celebrate Homecoming 2016. There is a great deal of information in this week's NewsFlash.  I apologize to those of you who are still experiencing issues with receiving your individual building e-news. We are continuing to work on this.  Thank you for your patience. 

Please remember that we will communicate through our normal channels if the Homecoming parade is canceled.  

Have a great evening and don't forget to wear your black, white and gold this weekend.

Go Falcons!

**Homecoming Update**


This weekend is Homecoming and we are very excited to welcome back our alumni, see our student floats, and of course, watch our Falcons play football.

We are in the process of monitoring the unpredictable weather very closely.    The possibility of rain and more importantly strong winds predicted for tomorrow are being closely watched. These conditions may negatively impact the parade.  

First and foremost we want to ensure the safety of our students and parade participants and observers.  As of now, we are planning the homecoming activities as usual, but wanted to alert our community to the possibility that the parade may have to be cancelled due to inclement weather.  A decision will be made and communicated tonight.

We will use the Falcon Flyer, Facebook, Twitter, and our website to communicate with our community if the parade is cancelled.  

We thank you in advance for your patience.

Have a great day!
