Each summer we like to host a bowling outing to give students an opportunity to get together and as a way for new students to meet one another as well as our returning students.

DRESS CODE ITEM DONATIONS

If you have dress code items (khaki shorts or pants, spirit wear, etc.) that are in good condition (no holes, etc.) that you have outgrown or no longer need and would like to donate to the school for future students, please drop them off in the main office (Tuesday-Thursday from 9:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.).

HELP! WE HAVE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WHO NEED A HOST FAMILY FOR THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR!

Hosting an international student is not only a great way to expand your knowledge of another culture but provides a wonderful opportunity for the student to experience yours. Along the way, they will make new friends and improve their use of the English language.

Host families receive a stipend in exchange for providing a loving environment, a room to live in, meals, and transportation to school. The students will cover most of their expenses, including school tuition, health insurance, phone plan, etc, while in the USA.

We are looking for 5-10 families who would be willing to host an international student for the 2024-2025 school year. Families can earn service-to-school hours by hosting an international student. If you are interested in hosting a student, please email Doug Smith.
