*Only students can complete the application with s# and password*
ALL Seniors that complete an application and payment online are then in a lottery to determine their parking spot in the following sequence:
The Top 50 Weighted GPA are in the front of the Blue Lot (Between the gym & football field). Spots are determined by a lottery.
The next 160 spots in Blue Lot are also determined by a lottery.
All Seniors that are not picked in the lottery for the Blue Lot are then assigned by a lottery for a spot in the White (the next closest lot to the school).
A senior assigned to a White Lot space may have the option to switch to our Gray Lot. The Gray Lot is a longer walk but it is paved, and the White Lot is gravel.
*All debts (Cafeteria and Media) need to be cleared to be eligible for a parking pass. *
Parking Permits will be available for pickup starting Wednesday August 6th through Friday August 8th from 9 AM – Noon in the Dean’s Office.
Juniors for the 2025-2026 School Year will be eligible for the remaining parking spots available after all seniors get an opportunity to purchase and get their spots assigned. Junior Parking Applications will not be available until the start of the new school year in August.

FEEDING FRENZY
The National Honor Society treated the faculty, staff and administration to a delicious homemade breakfast of pancakes, eggs, fruit, bagels, coffee and more! A true example of servant leadership as these high performing students took time away from preparing for exams to honor the hardworking teacher-sharks. Thank you NHS and Mrs. Meyer!
WATCH OUR SHARKS TEACH YOU AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE
This year, our ASL 4 students took on a meaningful and creative project designed to connect with Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students across the county. From the beginning of the year, they focused on making ASL more engaging and accessible for younger Deaf kids by hand painting signs and creating interactive video content. Each student carefully selected fun, age-appropriate vocabulary to paint and sign, choosing words they knew would excite and resonate with young Deaf children. With signed permission, these vibrant student-led videos have been shared with DHH programs county-wide, and the response has been incredible. The kids absolutely LOVE them!
It is important to remember that around 90% of Deaf children are born to hearing parents, many of whom never go on to learn ASL!! That is what makes this project so powerful. Seeing older students close in age to them using and celebrating their language helps make ASL feel fun, valued, and relevant. These videos are a highlight for these DHH students and help launch them into summer with a smile. 😊
We invite you to check out these videos, learn a few fun signs, and feel free to share them with your family!

SPOTLIGHT
Dr. Itle-Clark’s grade 10 English classes brought literature to life. After reading an excerpt from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the classes were challenged with building their own animated creatures. Each group selected a bag of “parts” from the class graveyard and began work. Along with developing a building plan, ensuring the creature had a moving part, and collaborating to overcome building challenges, groups had to create a personality and purpose for their creature. Groups presented their creations and their building process at the “Creature Con 2025” conference in class.
