Message from the President

Spring is here and not a moment too soon!!  Hopefully the nicer temps are here to stay.  Spring sports are in full swing (pun intended) and it’s almost Spring Break!!  I’m sure the students and staff are counting down the days!!

On St. Patrick’s Day, the PTSA Hospitality Team hosted a 3rd quarter end teacher/staff appreciation dessert grazing table. It was a lovely time, and we hope our teachers/staff were able to enjoy yummy treats as the 3rd quarter wraps up!

At our meeting last week, Dr. Aye was joined by Asst. Principal Berneatta Barnes, Asst. Principal Troy Ketch, Director of Student Services Ashley Anderson, SRO Patrick Talbott, and Region 5 Executive Principal Chad Lehman.
