Information regarding Junior High sports for our 6th-8th grade students continues to change by the day. At this time, we have been given enough information to plan a volleyball season, while hoping a basketball season will take place. We are still waiting for SIJHSAA guidelines for spectators and season starting/ending dates. Up to date information will be passed along as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and flexibility during this time!

All athletes are required to have a current sports physical on file before participating in any activity. I have also attached schedules to this post in the "Live Feed" of the website. More information will be passed along as it becomes available.

This weekend brought a lot of changes to youth sports. I am waiting on an official announcement from the SIJHSAA, but it looks like our 6-8 students will have some athletic opportunities in the near future. I hope to have a more detailed announcement in the next couple of days. If you haven’t already done so, pleas make sure your athletes have a sports physical on file at the school.
Reminder: No school tomorrow, Monday, January 18th for the observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
