Olivia competed against finalist from the ten states that make up the seventh and eighth circuits. As the winner, Olivia was awarded a cash prize of $500.

Congratulations Olivia!!!! We are so proud for you!!

We need your help!

We have some commonly violated dress code rules that are a common occurance. Please remember, students should not wear crop tops that expose their midriffs (with or without arms raised). Also, legs must be covered from a student's waist to his/her thighs at fingertip length - this includes jeans that have holes.
