Happy belated birthday to Zoe Swift (july 4). Zoe will be teaching in our special education department this year after previously serving as an English teacher. Zoe has also done an amazing job organizing our prom the past two years. Sorry I missed her birthday while on vacation!

Happy Birthday Mayra Munoz! Mayra is our phenomenal High School Spanish teacher and spanish club sponsor. We normally recognize all staff birthdays at work but didn't want our summer birthdays to feel left out. Thanks for all you do Mayra!
