Hometown pride was brimming at the high school this week. “It’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone in this building and the community as a whole. Together we’ve created an atmosphere that students want to be a part of, and are willing work for. We couldn’t be prouder of our entire K-12 faculty or our students,” said High School Principal Len Skuggevik.
