What challenges did the Class of 2022 face as they returned to in-person school full time, and how did they overcome them:
The Class of 2022 had a high school experience like no other. Throughout their four years they had a traditional experience along with everything that came with being students during a pandemic. These Vikings faced uncertainties and challenges both academically and extracurricularly, but with the help of their peers and a supportive faculty and staff, stayed Mighty, Brave, and Bold to overcome it all and exceed all expectations.
Principal's reflections on the Class of 2022: I will always have the utmost respect for the Class of 2022. They started their senior year already having gone through so much, but maintained their Commitment to Excellence in all aspects of school and in their personal lives. They have been true leaders in the building this year and a model of grace, courage, resilience, and perseverance. Congratulations Class of 2022, we are all proud of you.
