As we welcomed students back into the building today, some may have noticed the new hardware set up in the main hallway. We are proud to display our various achievements from over the years as we continue to build a tradition of excellence. One that our alumni might enjoy is the “National School Orchestra Award’ plaque back dated to 2018
