🏐 Officials Appreciation! 🏐 Last night at our Volleyball game, we had the opportunity to recognize two very special people who make High School Volleyball possible—Mandy Lindsey and Joann Carter! 🧡🖤 We are so grateful for the time, dedication, and commitment they give to our sport. Being an official takes countless hours, travel, and a true love for the game. Their willingness to be there for our athletes, night after night, allows our girls to compete, grow, and enjoy the game they love. Thank you, Mandy and Joann, for everything you do for High School Volleyball! We appreciate you more than you know! 🏐

‼️Contractors with the City will be working to demolish the water tower on the corner of College Avenue and School Street tomorrow, Monday, September 28, 2026. All parking lots at the high school will be closed all day tomorrow, with the exception of the gravel lot adjacent to the science building. Tomorrow is a PD day, so students will not be on campus. The company has assured us that they will take special care to ensure that the memorial in the gravel parking lot will not be disturbed during their work to remove the tower.
