The annual Alumni Banquet was held last Saturday in the gym. I know of no other alumni banquet like this one anywhere in the State of Texas. Thanks to all involved for keeping this reunion alive and well.
If you see a teacher in public, tell them how much you appreciate their efforts. We have a great community, students, teachers and staff.
Community involvement is the key to our success!
