A huge thank you to Jeremy with Haven Enterprises for taking the time to work with Mr. Reid's HS construction class; teaching students how to make trusses!

It's absolute MADNESS how talented our BC artists are!!

My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is the students and staff! I love standing in the halls in the morning and greeting the students as they come down from breakfast and head to their classes. The staff make sure each student feels welcome and safe. We work well together to make sure no student goes unnoticed!
