Principal's reflections on the Class of 2022:The Class of 2022 experienced the most disruption to the entirety of their school experience. They started remote in March of 2020 as sophomores, experienced much of their junior year in remote with a brief time spent in hybrid. They returned to in person learning for their senior year and gradually things inched towards a greater sense of normalcy this year. This year's prom seemed to hold an even more special meaning as students were able to finally enjoy some of the rites of passage associated with the high school experience. Throughout it all, they displayed a positive attitude that has come to define them. We will miss them dearly and we thank them for the memories that they have provided us. We are proud of their strength and fortitude and we know this experience has prepared them to overcome any obstacle set before them for years to come. Congratulations to the Class of 2022.
