Junior Parents,

Thank you so much to everyone who attended our Junior Parent Meeting last night! We are excited about our junior class and all that lies ahead for them as they continue through high school and begin preparing for life after graduation.

Whether their next step is entering the workforce, joining the armed forces, attending a two-year college, or pursuing a four-year degree, our goal is to make sure every student feels prepared, supported, and confident about what comes next.

I am attaching the presentation from last night’s meeting so that you can review the information we shared. We hope it will be a helpful resource as you and your student begin making plans for senior year and beyond.

Thank you for partnering with us as we support the Class of 2028!

Together we will prepare every Eagle to confidently take their next step.

Go Eagles! 🦅
