As we approach the final weeks of the school year, I want to encourage every student to be intentional about how they finish. A strong finish does not happen by accident. It requires preparation, discipline, and focus now. The habits students build in these final days matter, not just for grades, but for the kind of character and commitment they carry forward.
This is a meaningful time in the life of our school. We celebrate accomplishments, honor growth, and recognize the dedication it has taken to get here. At the same time, we ask students to stay fully engaged academically and as members of our community through the very last day.
Below are several important dates and events as we close out the year:
