The National English Honor Society will be holding a book drive from March 21st-25. Students will be able to drop off gently used books in the Science and Tech Lecture Hall and earn service hours. For every two books a student brings, they will receive one hour. We will give up to 6 hours (12 books) but students are encouraged to bring more books. More information is on the flyer attached below.

Social Media misuse
Please be advised that commentary associated with the use of weapons at school, even in jest, requires that the Department of Homeland Security be involved. Don’t make a mistake posting something that you find “entertaining” that references serious incidents, such as school shootings. There will be consequences including, possibly, federal charges.
