Pirates Post

Welcome back to a new semester and new classes. We had a great start to the semester last week and we look forward to that continuing through the end of the school year.

Schedule changes will be completed by the end of this week for all students. If your child has a schedule change request they should submit their request to the guidance office by no later than Wednesday of this week. While we will do our best to accommodate changes we can not guarantee that every request will be fulfilled due to class size and space restrictions.

The winter formal that was scheduled for January has been canceled due to a lack of interest. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. This decision was made because no one had purchased a ticket to the formal as of Friday. The deadline for vendors was this past Friday.

Congratulations to Coach Kristie Thach for being named the volleyball Coach of the Year for all 1A high schools and to Daven Brabble for being named the 1A State Player of the Year for volleyball. They will both be recognized this Friday at the NCVBCA coaches clinic in Raleigh.
