Each week two students will be chosen as Bobcat Students of the Week.  These students have shown dedication, cooperation, and have shown they know how to uphold the

Panther Promise:

Learn Daily,

Laugh Often,

Lead Respectfully,

Live Responsibly.  

Congratulations to the Students of the Week!  Please see the Student Spotlight Link for the names of these students. 

Students will be given their Bobcat Handbook on the first day of school.  Please go over this carefully and return the pages in the back to your 1st period teacher. A copy of the Bobcat Handbook can be found by clicking on the link on the homepage.
