Student Pick Up and Drop Off Locations
In the morning, student drop off will be along Sampson Street where students will be able to enter through the gate and main entrance.
Please drop your child off on the school side of the street so they do not have to cross through traffic. 
 
In the afternoon, car pick up is along Jefferson Street only. Students must exit out the end of the sophomore hallway and meet their vehicle on Jefferson Steet. Students will not be allowed to cross Sampson Street to meet vehicles.
Visitor and Parent Parking
Parking for parents and visitors to our campus is parallel parking on Sampson Street.  The only entrance for visitors and parents is our main entrance on Sampson Street.  In order to meet safety and security needs all other doors will be locked.

Meet our New Staff Members
We are very excited to introduce our new Robotics and Computer Science teacher, Ms. Rachel Alexander!

Ms. Alexander joins us from Reagan High School, where she taught engineering and developed their successful robotics program.  She attended Rice University, receiving her Bachelors of Science majoring in bioengineering.  Ms. Alexander was a very accomplished engineering student. While attending Rice her team invented the BreathAlert neonatal apena monitor, which won many student design awards in 2012 and 2013, and is currently in development and licensing procedures to prepare for deployment to countries across Africa.  In addition, she works as a coordinator for the Blue Stamp Engineering program in the summer.  

Originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Ms. Alexander loves to travel and has been to 38 of the United States and 5 continents.
