Conrad Bi-Weekly Memo October 4, 2024

Principal's Message

As we reach the midpoint of the first marking period and the heart of the Fall athletic season, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone for the tremendous support shown to our students, athletes, and school initiatives. We are excited to continue some of our beloved and well-received traditions, such as the Fall Festival, Homecoming, and the annual food drive, along with the upcoming PSAT day. Your support is what makes Conrad truly exceptional.

Let’s keep motivating our students to finish the marking period with strength and determination. Encourage them to stay connected with our school community—whether through athletics, clubs, or leadership groups. Their involvement enriches the unique spirit of Conrad.

Mission- Conrad Schools of Science… teaching life science and life lessons in a kind and inclusive environment, inspiring students and improving the world.
