High School Students and Families,
I hope this email finds you well and enjoying the cooler temperatures.
Congratulations to our Varsity Girls’ Volleyball team who made it to the second round of the NCHSAA State playoffs. The team will be traveling to Perquimans County on Tuesday for their next match. Best of luck!
We will have our annual lockdown drill this Wednesday beginning around 1:30 pm. Our teachers will be sharing processes and procedures with their students beginning tomorrow. Our doors will be locked, and no one will be permitted in or out until the end of the drill which should take no more than 15-20 minutes. If you need to sign your student out for an appointment, please plan accordingly.
Please see the latest and greatest below from the high school world:
