From the Principal

Principal Rich Engel

Dear Parents and Community Members,

We are proud of the fact that our students continue to perform at high academic levels. We are also extremely proud of our attendance, graduation, and dropout rates. We credit these achievements to our outstanding students, dedicated staff, and committed parents. Thank you to our parent volunteer phone callers for providing personal contact with parents, and to all of you who continue to volunteer in our building. Our booster club is absolutely the finest in the state; we are fortunate to have members who volunteer even after their kids have graduated.

We appreciate our entire school community!

Rich Engel, Principal
