What a great night to be a Dragon as we celebrated our seniors with two big wins over Pauls Valley. A special thanks and recognition to our seniors and their families. We are thankful for all you have done for our school! One of my favorite moments was seeing so many of our future dragons attending the game and cheering and supporting our teams. It's a reminder to our students what an important role they play as mentors and role models. These senior classes have exceeded those expectations!
We would also like to recognize Leilani Hartleroad and Landon Ward for their amazing rendition of our National Anthem. Our cheerleaders and drumline were tremendous as always leading our fans and school spirit. A huge shout-out to our student section who have been the absolute best this season. And to Pride the Dragon who apparently has learned some dance moves recently!
