Principal's Message

Today marks the end of the last full week of school, before we start half days on Wednesday, June 10. I cannot believe how quickly this school year flew by. One week from today, we say goodbye to the Class of 2026. Please remember that there will be no school for 7th-11th graders that day. 

Go Bruins!
