Final SCA Member Meeting – Thursday, May 14 at 9:00 AM (GWL Auditorium)
Please join us for our final SCA Member Meeting of the year. Dr. Z will be in attendance to discuss the district budget, and we’ll share updates on upcoming events, highlights to look forward to in the 2026–2027 school year, and offer our heartfelt thanks and goodbyes to our outgoing Board members. Your presence and participation help keep our community strong.

Faculty Appreciation Luncheon – Friday, May 8
Each spring, we take time to celebrate the incredible faculty and staff who make our school such a special place. The annual Faculty Appreciation Luncheon is one of our favorite traditions, and we welcome volunteers and donations to help make the day memorable.
