Hello from Dr. Skaggs
It's the Season of School Spirit!
Faculty and staff welcomed students back for the new school year! The energy level in the buildings has been as high as I've seen in years as students reunited with classmates and teachers to share stories from summer vacation.
Week two wrapped up with the high school conducting their first pep assembly of the year for grades 5-12 during which the Red Devil marching band and cheerleaders performed as fall athletic teams and the 2023 Homecoming court were announced.
Hope to see everyone at Red Devil Stadium tonight for our home opener against Zanesville High School.
