Freshman Tailgate Party
The Freshman Tailgate Party will be held on Friday, October 22, 5:30-6:30 in the Administrative Parking lot. We invite our freshmen and their parents to come enjoy the food (free of charge) and good fellowship.
We encourage parents to become involved in your student's academic and extracurricular endeavors. We will keep you informed and updated regarding school events and other information specific to your Freshman student. Please contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.
Our 9th graders will create their own CFNC (College Foundation of North Carolina) accounts during computer lab time in October. Please encourage your student to regularly visit the website and his/her personal account to keep it updated. This is the website they will use as seniors to apply to colleges online and to have their transcripts sent electronically. We also encourage parents to create their own accounts. There is a wealth of information regarding career planning, choosing a college, paying for college, etc. that parents may access. The website is

Please consider joining our PTA and Athletic Booster Clubs. Call our school office for more information about how you can help (396-2188).
