Upper School Families, 

On Friday, November 7, sophomores will take the Pre-ACT, and juniors will take a mandatory practice ACT on campus. Freshmen and seniors will remain off campus but must complete an assignment posted in Infinite Campus for attendance credit.

This week, we had two community service field trips: one to Habitat for Humanity and another to Babies Need Bottoms. We are proud of our students for their dedication to positively impacting the community.
