Big Thanks- to all the parents in attendance for the Junior Parent meeting the evening of January 29.
Seniors: You may receive notice from your University about an updated transcript. Mid-Year reports (including Transcript) went out to all universities between January 25 and January 29.
As University decisions come in, students should notify their counselor. This is important information for future students!
