There is nothing like the joy of the first day of school! Welcome back students and staff.
One of my favorite things is helping train our new 1st hour office aides on proper flag etiquette. Displaying the flag is a time-honored tradition of public schools. It's a symbol of our responsibility to build good citizens and a reminder that public schools are a core foundation of democracy. Thank you Erica Estrada and Senior Kaleb Bailey for helping display our flags on the first day.
Go Dragons!
