Welcome back, Eagles!


After more than two years of interruptions and uncertainties, we are eager for a new school year to begin. With this new start, there is a renewed confidence in our community and a knowledge that our commitment to one another will endure any difficulties or challenges that may come our way.


This year marks our school's 40th anniversary! This is a significant milestone in the life of our school community and we look forward to celebrating it throughout the year together.


It is with sincere appreciation that I thank you for partnering with us for your child’s educational journey. Their foundational educational years are so critical to their development and future.


Guided by our Strategic Plan, we are working to make it a fabulous year. I hope the information in this Collegiate Connection provides each student and family with the information needed to start school ready, excited, and prepared. We're rolling out a new format for the Connection today as we continue to make it a priority to make the information you need organized, efficient, and helpful!


We want to do everything we can to make sure your child has a wonderful first day of school! If you ever have questions or concerns, please let us know. My door is always open, and my email is always on.


Dr. Lyn D. Rantz

Head of School
