Record Setting Honor Assembly
 An Honors Assembly is held each semester. The latest one set records.
62.5% of Seniors earned an Honor Assembly award.
38 Seniors were recognized for making the Honor Roll. The criteria for the Honor Roll is 3.5 to 3.9 grade point average.
42 more Seniors were recognized for making the Principals Honor Roll. The criteria for the Principals Honor Roll is 4.0 and above. These are serious achievements.
