Welcome

Strive High with PRIDE That's the Lion Way!
 
Welcome to our school!
 
We believe that parent participation is key to student success; our new website is designed to provide parents with all the information they need to be active participants in their student’s education. You will find that the site works just as well on mobile devices as it does on a desktop so you can find information on the go. We look forward to starting the new school year, Lions! We are the Lions. We are the Future!
