It will also include information about our STEM classes, Visual and Performing Arts, Career Technical Education, Clubs, and Athletics. To arrange to receive a folder, please contact

We also offer prospective families a student-led tour of campus with one of our leadership students during fourth or fifth period (11:30 - 2:00). To set up a tour, please contact Leadership Teacher
