Students, we are closed today in honor of President's Day. See you tomorrow!

Due to the potential for severe weather, our AFTERNOON SESSION is cancelled today. Afternoon students will not report today. See you all tomorrow.

Students, your patience is tested through failure. Failure brings criticism, embarrassment, and doubt. Successful people take those moments and learn from them. They improve. Mistakes happen on a daily basis for us all. Learning through patience is a lifelong process.
