Tennis Update From Coach Woodall Routledge

Due to rain overnight, the courts will be unsafe with puddles and it could still be raining due to forecast.

We will try to have practice after school tomorrow (Thursday) in preparation for Friday's match.

It's only supposed to be 81, but drink lots of water and bring lots of water/gatorade with you tomorrow. We will meet at our normal time 3;20-4:45 weather permitting. We plan to have our match at LHS Friday 3-4:30ish, but may start early due to bus constraints.

Thank you for your flexibility and understanding,

Cross Country Meet Canceled 9/08

Given the excessive heat warning lasting until 7pm, the predicted temperature at 6pm, and the humidity level, we have decided to cancel the cross country invitational this evening. This is not what we wanted; however, student safety is the utmost importance. We cannot guarantee it will be safe for participation today, so we will be canceling.

Thank you all for your understanding and patience. Hopefully there is a break in the weather soon!

We are proud to give a huge shoutout to one of our very own Bulldogs, Riley Alva!

Riley was recently crowned (earlier this month) Jr. Miss Oglala Lakota Nation 2026–2027. In this role, she will represent her tribe as a young ambassador and serve as a positive role model and leader through her role as a powwow princess.

Our school and her family are incredibly proud of Riley and her dedication to her culture, community, and youth. 🐾❤️

Congratulations, Riley!
