Yesterday, the Athletic Department held their sports banquet and awards ceremony. As always there was a lot to celebrate. The track team, the goalball team, the wrestlers, the cheerleaders and the swimming teams each accomplished outstanding things this school year! The luncheon was a lovely time to reflect, share stories, socialize and celebrate students participation in extra curricular activities and living a healthy lifestyle. The awards ceremonies were held in the auditorium and massive cheers and applause rang out throughout the school. We not only celebrate the students, but we celebrate the staff who are so dedicated to the well-being of our students. They are their for the athletes 100% and it shows in the students appreciation of them. Congratulations to everyone for their amazing achievements — we’re proud of you all!

All of our fabulous coaches!
