Musical auditions will take place this Monday December 6th during advisory period. You may leave as long as school is out after you have finished auditioning, but you MUST have a ride lined up in case your audition is after the last bell because we will not be finished with everyone in time for students to catch the bus. You may audition even if you have not signed up with Mrs. Post, so don’t be shy come try something new! We can’t wait to see you all there!
Athletic Fees for Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball and Wrestling are due before each teams first meet. Fees can be found in TeacherEase and paid by credit card or cash/check can be sent to the high school office. Thank you for getting these taken care of.
