In order to be ready for the 2022-2023 school year, we encourage you to go ahead and Register Your School With FOCUS. This will allow you access to our many resources and enable you to begin your “focus” on next year’s concerns for your students and campus. Having your school registered and students recruited before a new school year begins is half the battle of “Making a Difference” in your school and community.
