Good morning, Herd!

It's May, and the end of the school year is in sight. Things are starting to wind down, but it's important that we finish the school year strong.

We have 19 school days left. Let's keep it up, Herd!

Good morning, Herd!

This week, our Spring sports teams continue to show up at every game, putting their best foot forward to finish their seasons strong. Be sure to cheer them on!

On Wednesday, we have our final picnic with a parent, and the weather looks like it's going to be perfect for a picnic.

As we wrap up April, we'll be hosting our outstanding scholars night, which is invite-only, our 4th annual Poly night, which everyone is welcome to come to, and we have our final rally of the year, and arguably everyone's favorite rally of the year, our black light rally! School will get out at 3, so everyone can head over to the Cartwright and show off our Herd pride for our last rally of the school year.

Seniors, you have 19 school days left before you get to move on to the next chapters of your lives. Make them count!

Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors, you have only 24 days left of the 2025-2026 school year. Let's finish this semester strong and then move into a restful and reinvigorating summer!

Let's make this week great, Herd.

Our annual Multicultural Assembly was, as always, a great insight and reminder of the diversity we have on campus. We want to offer a great job to all of the students who performed in front of staff, students, and parents! It's not easy to perform in front of crowds, but everyone who did did so with honor, effort, respect, and determination.

Great job, Herd!
