Brooklyn Pearson and Jacey Ladner help pack around 30 weekend bags that go home with students every Friday.
Applications for weekend bags are available outside Mrs. Phelps’s door — just list the names and grades of kids in the home and include a parent or guardian signature.
And a huge thank you to First United Methodist Church for faithfully sending food to include in the bags — your support means so much!

A new high school isn’t just about classrooms—it’s about creating a campus where students can learn and grow in a secure, modern environment. From updated security systems to improved building design, the 2025 Millage Campaign ensures safety is built into the foundation of our future.
Because when students feel safe, they can focus on what matters most—learning. ❤️🖤

Students in Ms. Amanda Washburn’s class are showing leadership in action! They’ve learned how to properly raise, lower, and fold the school’s flag and now take turns handling this important daily task. It’s a great way to build responsibility, teamwork, and pride in their school community.






Planning for the future starts now! Our Career Coach, Mrs. Allison Swann, has been working with 8th graders in Career Development classes to complete their Student Success Plans.
These plans help students set goals, explore career interests, and take steps toward a bright future. ❤️🖤

This school year, all students have access to free school breakfast thanks to the new “Breakfast for All” legislation. 🎉
We hope to see even more students taking advantage of this opportunity to start their school day with a healthy meal — fueling their focus, energy, and success in the classroom.
A great day of learning starts with a great breakfast — and now it’s at no cost to families. ❤️🖤🤍

🏫 Building a More Accessible Future 🏫
Right now, our current high school building has three sets of stairs and is not ADA accessible. For students with disabilities, this creates barriers that make learning and daily routines much more difficult.
With the 2025 Millage Campaign, a new high school would provide modern, ADA-compliant facilities—ensuring every student has equal access to classrooms, resources, and opportunities.
Accessibility isn’t just a convenience; it’s a necessity. Together, we can create a school where all students can learn, grow, and succeed. ❤️🖤
