From The Principal's Office: We're off and running in the new school year! As student leaders and faculty we set specific goals for the start of the year, and our shared efforts are translating into outcomes.
- Improved attendance and tardy data for all grade levels. Students are responding to a shared commitment to getting to class on time to take best advantage of instructional minutes.
- Our attendance rate in September was 95%, comparable to our Sept attendance last year. This number represents a goal for each month that we want to improve upon.
- In September we averaged 7 tardies/day in the building. This is down from 18 tardies/day in May. Our goal is to get that number under 5 in October.
- Leadership Class kicked off the school year with a spirited assembly, and hosted an after-game Neon Dance that was well attended. Peer Mentors encouraged their freshmen mentees to attend the game and dance, and the Class of 2027 was present in large numbers at both events.
- Student leadership in our clubs, sports teams and CTE organizations met with Mr. Mac on Tuesday, Sept. 26th to discuss the start of the school year and student goals for the year. We will meet monthly to discuss school culture and how we can improve service to our students.
From SRO Mutch - During the last week of September SRO Mutch set up a parking challenging in the back corner of the lot. The setup challenges drivers to back into parking spaces to set up safer departures. The majority of parking lot fender-benders happen when drivers are backing out of parking spaces. SRO Mutch worked with Mr. Sykes Driver's Ed. Course and student volunteers to practice safe parking strategies.

Students have also been working hard on two of our annual state honor band auditions – WIBC and All-State. Audition recordings are due this week, and results will be reported in late October.
From Career & Technical Education (CTE) Programs:
This month, Mrs. Swanson’s Personal Choices classes have been studying topics related to “adulting” and real-life! Students simulate living in Swansonville - Friday is payday, and students must record their “income” and “expenses.” Counselor Mrs. Semanko has visited the class to assist with Career Interest Surveys and going through “roommate scenarios” – ask your student how they would handle a challenge with their “roommate!” Still to come in Swansonville are lessons on applying for jobs, mock interviews and more managing life with "roommates."
