High School Plan Night: April 11 - All 8th through 11th graders are strongly encouraged to attend plan night. Plan night is designed to communicate with families regarding preparing for graduation and college/career options following graduation. Plan night also gives students the opportunity to choose classes for the upcoming school year. We ask that at least one parent attend with their student. 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. If your family is unable to attend, please let administration know ASAP.
