For National School Counselor Appreciation Week, we highlighted the incredible impact our school counselor has on our students, staff, and school community. 💙💛 To our dedicated school counselor, Mrs. Felicia Johnston – thank you for your compassion, guidance, and unwavering support. You help students navigate challenges, set goals, and believe in themselves every single day. Your work makes a difference, and we are beyond grateful for everything you do!

Here are our November Star Southerners!!! These students were nominated by one of their teachers for going above and beyond, whether it be their great attitudes in class, helping classmates, turning in superb classwork, or being all around good citizens. The handwritten certificate their teacher filled out was mailed home for parents/guardians to see! Each student listened to their nomination while enjoying a donut. We are so proud of all these kids!! 💙💛

During the month of September, we kicked off our new student of the month recognition called Star Southerners. Students are recognized by teachers for various reasons ranging from great participation in class, picking up trash as they walk by it, helping fellow classmates, completing their book talks, simply doing a good deed, etc. At the end of each month, these students are brought in and told why they were nominated as they enjoy a treat!
Today, we celebrated our September Star Southerners with donuts!
Exciting news! The brand new high school and junior high cafeteria is opening on October 7th, 2024! Students will start enjoying their meals in this amazing space starting that Monday. Get ready for a fresh dining experience!
