This Year's Modified Block Schedule

In an effort to give students and teachers more flexibility in terms of course offerings and instructional times, we have developed a modified version of a block schedule.

On Monday, Thursday, and Friday students will have seven instructional periods lasting 49-50 minutes each. On Tuesdays students will have 4 classes that last 85 minutes each. On Wednesdays students will have their other 3 classes for 85 minutes each, an advisory period and a 50 minute block of time that will be used for clubs.

A Message from the Head of School

The 2010-11 school year has gotten off to a great start. We have added thirteen new faculty members and a number of new students for the year. While construction is still underway on our gymnasium and performance stage remodeling projects, the new turf football field is complete and has already seen its first action. The new all-weather track and the science and technology buildings will be completed later this year.

What they didn't know was that our mystery reader was bringing a mystery treat...kolaches, doughnuts and milk!

Our first Mystery Reader came today! To add to the fun of our Mystery Unit, we will have some mystery readers visit us this week. After studying the clues that our mystery person sent to us, we came up with a few "suspects". We thought and thought about what we knew about our person and who we knew that might match the evidence.
