Awards night will be Wednesday May 29th at 7 PM in the high school cafeteria.  Senior awards as well as departmental awards will be presented on this evening.

Graduation will be Friday June 7th at 7 PM.  It is scheduled to be held outside on the football field but a final decision on holding it outside will be made on Tuesday June 4th.  Inclement weather will result in it being held inside in the gymnasium as in years past.

Softball will be playing North Marion in the first round of the State playoffs.  The game is scheduled for Wednesday May 22nd at 5 PM.  Inclement weather may result in the need to reschedule this game to Thursday, one day later.

We will be sending 12 track athletes to compete at the State track meet at Hayward Field on the campus of the University of Oregon.  Competition begins on Friday May 24th and concludes on Saturday May 25th.

The junior/senior prom was held this past weekend.  It was a beautiful evening, warm with a slight breeze.  Students were able to walk the grounds and had access to the Victorian Mansion as well, throughout the evening.  It was nice to see our students dressed up and enjoying the summer-like evening!

We are completing the scheduling process and will be looking at student and class schedules.  For next years seniors who have not passed the state math test, a requirement for graduation next year, enrollment in a math class will be required.  Also, our new AP Human Geography class is very popular.  We may have to limit enrollment for next year to seniors only.  Juniors who would like the class would be enrolled in their senior year. 

We have revised our fee schedule for next year.  Many of the class fees will no longer be required.  Only a few upper level elective classes will continue to have fees charged.  Our sports fees have changed as well.  We will no longer have a "free" third sport.  In addition each student wanting to play a Tier I sport will be charged a maximum of $125 and a minimum of $50 (based on free or reduced lunch eligibility). 

We had a very nice evening for the Fine Arts Fair last Wednesday night.  There were many student art displays and there was music from the band, drumline and choir.  Our students did a great job showcasing their work.

Our sports teams continue to do well with softball, baseball and track finishing up league seasons this week.
