Once again on the cultural side, the school continued its Annual Pasta Palooza evening at the High School which was filled with some lively entertainment and some wonderful art. There were also plays, the annual Science Fair, the Holiday show, Key Club events and Model United Nations events throughout the year. The school’s band program continues to making remarkable progress and the concert they gave at year end was wonderful.
This year the School broke ground on our new field house which will finally give our school a long term home for our growing sports and extracurricular needs. It is slated to be complete in the early fall of 2011.
