Read MoreOur school is participating in the Washington State 2021 Healthy Youth Survey on October 11, 2021. Grades 7-12 will complete this survey in their first period classes.
The Healthy Youth Survey ask questions about risks for injury, health outcomes, and alcohol and drug use. Schools, and state and local agencies use survey results to support our youth and reduce their risks. The Healthy Youth Survey is voluntary and anonymous and provides important information to guide policy and programs that serve our youth.

With the new, expanded mask mandate now in effect, this is a reminder that masks are required at any event with 500 or more attendees. This includes outside events as well.

Read MoreSeniors and Senior Families,
The forecast has been moving in the wrong direction and looking at tomorrow’s anticipated rainfall, we have made the decision to move the ceremony inside the Bo Griffith Memorial Gymnasium.
Seniors: you will check in at the back side of the gym (the exterior entrance closest to the weight room) at 1:30PM. Reminder: we’d like to leave the student parking lot open to your guests, so please park in the lots by the tennis courts and also use the staff parking if necessary. Also, remember which side of the gym you were sitting on during practice yesterday. That is the same side you’ll be sitting on tomorrow, so you can tell your guests which bleachers to be in.
The HS gym foyer doors will open at 1:15PM. Guests will check in through the front doors, where they will give their name to the greeter. Please remember that masks are required at this school event.

Read MoreSeniors and Senior Families:
Here we are in what could easily be classified as crunch time for graduation. We are very concerned that if a senior was exposed to COVID after Sunday and had to quarantine from a close contact at school, that senior would be excluded from graduation on the 13th. We would like to give you, as senior parents and students, the option over the next seven school days to keep your student at home for online classes to prevent the potential exposure and quarantine. We still plan on having all the in-person events for seniors and no student who chooses not to come to school in the next few days would be excluded from those events.
