Increased and improved communication including a regular newsletter and Facebook page; - New Dual Credit offerings including Spanish and United States History;
The Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program; - The introduction of archery as a component of our physical education classes;
- The acquisition of cardio equipment for the weight room with access for community members;
- Hunter Education classes included as a regular part of the health class curriculum;
- The development and introduction of teacher lead, small group, study halls to help struggling students;
