Softball and Baseball will open their season on Saturday, March 13, and Sideline Cheer will follow next week. See Team Information below:

The health and safety of our staff, students, and community remains our priority. We continue to provide appointments for our staff to receive the COVID-19 Vaccine as well as to monitor the latest information closely and work with our local health agencies and partners to ensure that we are doing what is in the community's best public health interest.

Thank you for your continued patience and flexibility.

Have a wonderful, safe, and restful weekend!
