A message from the Guidance Department: HONOR LEVEL SYSTEM CHANGES You will notice on your report cards this year that the Honor Levels 3, 4, and 5 will now be called Honor Roll, Principal's List, and Superintendent's List, respectively. There will be no Honor Level 1 and 2. Students will be awarded quarterly for Honor Roll (quarterly average 85-89.99), Principal's List (quarterly average 90-94.99), and Superintendent's List (quarterly average 95-100) as well as for Character Awards. The end of the 1st quarter is Friday November 10th. The awards will be presented during lunch on November 17th in the auditorium. Pizza and drinks will be provided for eligible students, and they will receive paper awards.

In Mr. Morris’s 10th grade English class, poetry is the sole focus for quarter one. As an ongoing task, students are choosing their own poetry collections to read and then designing their own reading and writing goals based on their interests. One of Skyler’s goals is to share a poem she read with a wider audience via social media and comment on the poem’s inspiring characteristics.
