Dear Senior Students,
When we started this year together none of us could have imagined that this would be where we found ourselves in March and April and looking forward to May and June. We entered the year with a vision of where the year would take us: starting new things, ending others, and wrapping up a 13 year journey of education. Our current reality is drastically different than what we had imagined, but I need you to know a few things:
- These circumstances are difficult and beyond our control. We know that you have been dealt many disappointments as sport seasons, potential state championships, prom, and graduation have been changed or cancelled. Those emotions are real, they are valid, and they are not wrong. We are here to support you. We will yell with you in your anger. Stand with you in your confusion and the unknown. Cry with you in your sadness. Dream with you in your hope and creativity. Encourage you when you can’t find your courage on your own. We are here and will continue to be here through the challenges, the trials, the tribulations, the losses and the new creations as we continue forward… together. Remember we are all still LANCERS!

The 2020 Statesman yearbook will be available in June. If you had ordered a book during the 2019 school registration period or prior to December 20, 2019, you will have a book available for pickup. If you did not order a book in advance, there will be books for sale at that same time. At this time we have not made any final decisions regarding how yearbooks will be distributed or sold. We are no longer taking advanced orders. If you are unsure as to if you had ordered a book you can check in the Fees area in IC.
