Huge congratulations to Maddox for an incredible string of accomplishments! This past weekend, he earned TWO gold medals in track: running the 200-meter dash in 27 seconds flat and throwing the javelin 67 feet! 🏃♂️🥇🎯
Just a few weekends ago, he brought home gold in soccer, and not long before that, he snagged THREE gold medals in weightlifting, including a nearly 300 lb deadlift! 🏋️⚽🏅
Maddox, your hard work and dedication are truly inspiring. We are so proud of you! #ProudHawkCommunity ❤️💙
We had a great evening welcoming our newest Hawks at Kindergarten Signing and Orientation! A special appearance by our Hawk mascot made the night even more memorable.
Junior High Orientation was also a success—students heard about how to use lockers, learned tips for organization and time management, and discovered ways to get involved through our extracurricular offerings shared in the Multipurpose Room.
Thank you to all the families who joined us tonight! ❤️💙

Today, we celebrated our graduating seniors with our Senior Walk! With smiles, high-fives, and hugs, our Class of 2025 walked the halls of their elementary roots, greeted by cheers and handmade signs from our youngest Hawks.
A special moment was shared as our kindergartners and seniors exchanged well wishes—one group just beginning their journey and the other preparing to take flight. ✨
Enjoy this little video of our special moment together. https://bit.ly/3SDqgRt
Once a Hawk, always a Hawk!
