October is Fentanyl Poisoning Awareness Month, and we're joining the fight to spread knowledge and protect our communities. Fentanyl is a powerful and dangerous drug, and awareness is key in preventing its devastating consequences. Every week we will post a fact or information about fentanyl on social media. Grades 6-12th will learn about opioids especially fentanyl during the month.

We are beyond thankful for our two incredible principals! Both of these strong women spend countless hours on campus, leading with heart, supporting their staff, cheering on students, & staying active in the community, all while juggling the busy life of being moms themselves.

Being a principal isn’t an easy job, and it’s certainly not for the faint of heart. It’s a true calling—a calling of service, leadership, & love for kids. These ladies go above & beyond every single day, and our schools are better because of them.

Thank you both for everything you do, you are appreciated more than words can say!
