Graduation is upon us. Excitement and anticipation are in the air…

Have you completed the mental checklist? Here are some things you may need to know for the final weeks of your high school career:

– All graduating seniors must return district-issued devices, cases, and chargers, no later than May 22nd, 2023.
– Prom tickets will not be available to seniors with outstanding debts.
– Finals, the last day for graduates is Friday, May 19th. For those still needing help with filling out FASFA, contact Mr. Haynes for more information.  520-731-7317 or [email protected].
