Due to the impending snow storm I am cancelling school for tomorrow, Tuesday the 2nd. This will be a traditional snow day and I hope you will build snowmen, drink hot chocolate and enjoy the day. Stay warm and safe, and we will expect to see you back in school on Wednesday.

We apologize for the clunky NFHS system we have installed for watching games in the gymnasium. After the difficulty of last night's broadcast, we have tested all of our systems and it is clearly an NFHS issue. Furthermore, they have taken their support call offline and we have no way of talking to someone to fix the issue. We have to submit a ticket and so far during the broadcast tonight we have not heard back. We will be working this issue and if we need to, we will provide alternative ways to view the games for the future home games. Thanks for your patience.
