Last Friday night, we celebrated our Class of 2026! It has been such a joy watching these students grow from Kindergarteners into Seniors. We are so proud of each and every one of them and wish them the very best in all of their future endeavors. Always remember to dream big and never let anything stand in the way of achieving your goals. Congratulations, Class of 2026!

On Thursday, May 14th, we held our 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony in the gym. Senior Guest Speaker Madeline Grant shared words of wisdom and encouragement with our 8th graders as they prepare to begin their high school journey. After the ceremony, students and families celebrated with cake, cookies, and punch in the cafeteria. Congratulations to our 8th graders on this exciting milestone!

Every year the staff and students vote for the teacher of the year and the support staff member of the year. With such an amazing staff it was difficult to choose just one. There was a three way tie for teacher of the year! Congratulations to Marty Beamer, Cindy Medrano, and Hattie Wilson. There was also a tie for support staff of the year. Congratulations to Sierra Wilkens and Seth Hartwig. We are very lucky to have such a great group of people working with and for our students.

Last Thursday night, we celebrated our Foreign Exchange Students, Nissen Elleuch and Anya Sim. They both shared their cultures with us, and we all learned so much from each other and this experience. All of our lives have been enriched through this experience. We wish them all the best as they travel back home. We hope they always know that they have a home here. Once an Indian, Always an Indian.
