Art Teacher Taylor Lynch was honored with the ✨All-Star Award✨ for going above and beyond to ensure the arts remain a visible and valued part of the school's culture.

Speech Aide Vickie Burgess was also recognized with the ✨All-Star Award.✨ "What sets Mrs. Burgess apart is her outstanding ability to see the value in every student," said Principal Cromwell.
