Students in grades 7–11 recently discussed course options for preparation of the 2026–2027 school year. In the coming weeks, students will also meet to further select their schedules and plan for their future goals. We encourage parents and guardians to take time to visit with their child about their course selections and plans for next year and beyond. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mr. Eriksson or Mrs. Leingang.
