Principal's reflections on the Class of 2020:

The Class of 2020 has always stood out as being a special group. As a class, their diversity and school spirit combined with a unique inclusiveness has really left a lasting impact on our school community. But what will really live on is how the class of 2020 responded to the unprecedented and unexpected end of their high school careers. This wasn't the finale we were expecting, but they've handled it with maturity, class and perspective. These are all lessons that will serve them well as they move beyond high school. We will miss the Class of 2020, but I know you will go on to do great things.

— Principal Jeremy Schmidt
