Principal's Message
Mustang Family,
I hope everyone is feeling great as we head into our third week of school! We’ve got some exciting events on campus this week, including Girls Flag Football, Boys Water Polo, and Cross Country all in action. I encourage you all to come out, cheer on our teams, and connect with one another in the true Mustang Way!
We’re also celebrating our fall sports with a rally during snack this week—be sure to join in the fun and show your Mustang pride.
Looking ahead, please mark your calendars for Back to School Night on September 5th. It’s a wonderful chance to meet your student’s teachers, learn about their classes, and gather important information for the year.
Wishing everyone a fantastic week ahead! Let’s make it a great one!
Ms. Alicia Foulk
Principal
