We are still searching for a middle school band teacher for school year 2024-2025. The position would only require around 15-20 hours a week. We would even be willing to work with someone who doesn't have a teacher certification yet but has band experience. If you know of anyone who would be interested, please invite them to apply. Thank you!

Last night at our school board meeting, we recognized five of our teachers that will be retiring this year.
Mella Bradshaw (had to miss for the softball game)
Lynette Burdick
Carol Mora
Kileen Smith
Janet Wengert
These five women have dedicated over 100 years of combined service to our district and our schools are better because of them. They have influenced so many young people throughout the years. We will miss them greatly!
