As the school year begins to wrap up, our Culinary Arts students are turning up the heat on the grill. This week, they showcased their grilling prowess by cooking delicious hamburgers, succulent chicken, and perfectly seared steak on the grill. It's incredible to witness their growth and passion for cooking.

We've had increased issues with parking, specifically on our 7-12 Campus, at extracurricular events. Specific issues we are running into are cars parked on the grass, on sidewalks, along curbs, and not in designated parking spaces. This makes it difficult for vehicle travel and presents safety concerns with the created blind spots. Please help us by finding a designated parking spot when attending your event. Tomorrow (May 8th), we host a Baseball game, a Softball game, the Western Big Six Track Meet, and a Choir Concert in the evening. We can easily accommodate all these events with some cooperation. We are asking Track spectators to use the south lot (or student lot). Baseball and Softball spectators should use the parking lot near the ball diamonds or the parking north along the Fieldhouse. Choir spectators are to use the front drive parking or the student lot parking. Thanks for your help ahead of time. #Thisis205
