We enter May with many happenings occurring and many events to honor successes for the 2011-12 school year. There are many awards programs, concerts and other activities scheduled. It is always good to end a school year on a positive note and and many of these programs honor our best and brightest in academics, music, drama, and leadership. We encourage the public to attend as we honor these excellent students.
