My Project

College is expensive enough right?? After a rigorous application & financial aid season, our seniors are so close to the finish line, and I couldn't be more proud of each and every one of them.

On May 13th, we will be sending the seniors attending college off with a celebratory Decision Day!

As they begin their next steps, I want them to not only have the resources to succeed academically, but also the resources to have an enriching first-year experience.

Twelve lucky seniors will win a prize during a raffle at the end of our event!

Mr. Lee
Grades 9-12
