High School Plan Night: April 11 - All 8th through 11th graders are strongly encouraged to attend plan night.

To make good use of each family's time, Plan Night will look a little differently than it has in previous years. Each family should plan for approximately one hour of total time for the evening. The schedule for the evening is as follows: 6:00 - 9th & 10th grades meet in Sanctuary for presentation; 6:30 - 9th & 10th grades meet with administration in CEL Awana Room/Cafeteria; 6:30 - 11th & 12th grades meet in Sanctuary for presentation; 7:00 - 11th & 12th grades meet with administration in CEL Awana Room/Cafeteria.
