Presidents' Day


There are no high school or college classes and our office will be closed on Friday 2/12 as well as Presidents' Day Monday 2/15.   We return to classes on Tuesday 2/16 on our 6 period day schedule.  Students with time conflicts with their high school and college classes need to let their high school teachers know and attend the college class sessions.
