Storm Families,

As we move into our championship season, one of the most important things you will hear out of my mouth is the ability to reset and balance our athletes, coaches, and parents (yes, parents, you deserve a break from carpooling). Until then, I leave you with one of my favorite quotes about life balance.

“We think, mistakenly, that success is the result of the amount of time we put in at work, instead of the quality of time we put in.”

Thank you,

Coach Mary

In celebration of your efforts, we would like to feature your accomplishments on our website and social media channels. To help us in putting together senior profiles that would provide a proper send-off, please complete the Graduating Senior Questionnaire by February 20, 2023.
