Principal's Message

Hello Wolfpack!

Thursday night was truly fun. There were a lot of students who turned out for the tailgate, and the energy was high. Students enjoyed playing games and chatting with each other while eating some pizza. Walking down to the stadium as a school was a fantastic experience. And then the stadium experience itself – the student section was right next to our amazing band. Led by our incredible cheerleaders, our fan section rocked the house. I appreciated how the football team thanked their fans at the end of the game.

I hope your student had the opportunity to engage in this extraordinary evening. Student involvement in school, both inside and outside the classroom, is essential for several reasons.

Sense of Belonging: Being involved in school can create a sense of belonging and connection to the school community. This can help combat feelings of isolation and contribute to a positive school environment.
Increased Confidence: Participating in school-related activities and achieving success in them can boost a student's self-confidence and self-esteem.
Social Development: Interacting with peers and adults in various school settings helps students develop social skills, empathy, and the ability to work effectively with others.

If you would like support in connecting your student to school events, please reach out to your school counselor, student advisory teacher, or the office. We are here to help.

The strength of the wolf is in the pack.
