📚 Save the Date! 🍎✏️

The 2026–2027 school year is almost here, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back!

Mark your calendars for Back-to-School Nights, our Secondary Open House, Dual Credit/Running Start Information Night, and the first day of school. Be sure to check out the graphic below for all the important dates.

Based on feedback from parents and families, we’ve made a change this year by hosting our Secondary Open House before the start of the school year. We hope this gives students and families the opportunity to meet teachers, get familiar with schedules, and start the year feeling confident and prepared.

We look forward to seeing our Wildcats soon! 🐾💙
