A "Year in Review"
A "Year in Review" presentation was made
at the June 9 Board of Education
meeting. Accomplishments in each of our
schools and in various programs were
highlighted. The year began with a
successful consolidation of our
elementary school program from four to
three buildings and a more efficient
transportation program involving fewer
buses. As the year progressed, students
continued to be involved in a rich
variety of academic programs
characterized by higher expectations for
student performance and enrichment
opportunities both during and after the
school day. The year ended with a high
school graduation rate that is
nationally recognized and with college
acceptances for 96% of our graduating
seniors. The Year in Review
presentation can be viewed by clicking
here.
