Even though fall 2025 seems so far away, we are already gearing up for a celebration of school pride. Homecoming 2025 will spotlight our incredible ACES (Academic and Career Explorers) and Career and Technical Education (CTE) students—true gamechangers in our school community! Throughout the year, they’ve wowed us with their achievements, their dedication and school spirit, and the hard work of our ACES students has helped fund essential resources, including tents and float trailers, empowering our students to design and build one-of-a-kind homecoming floats.

Superintendent Goal 7 focuses on strengthening relationships between the District and the broader community. By increasing engagement and outreach, the District aims to create stronger, more collaborative connections among parents, local organizations, and other stakeholders.
