Principal's Message
Happy New Year!
As we welcome 2025, we are nearing the close of the second marking period, and I am proud to reflect on the many accomplishments of our students. From those leading our clubs to our talented performers preparing for the spring concert and play, and our dedicated winter sports teams competing with determination—our school community is vibrant and thriving. There is so much to engage with, so I encourage everyone to come out and support our students and their events!
On Monday, we will honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader whose teachings continue to inspire us. He reminds us: "The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education." Let us embrace this wisdom as we dedicate ourselves to learning, building character, and uplifting one another throughout the year.
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to making our school a place where everyone can grow and thrive. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!

Standout student making a difference
Conrad Junior, Sydney O'Connor, spent her summer making hand made cards for the patients at Nemours Children's Hospital. She made 45 individually crafted uplifting cards to brighten their day. She also inspired Multiplying Good to continue her efforts to make even more cards to brighten more patients' days. Way to go, Sydney!

World Travelers' Club 2026 Trip: Dominican Republic!
Dear families, Educational travel exposes students to new people, places, and cultures which in turn expands their knowledge of the world and their knowledge of themselves. That’s why we are thrilled to bring this opportunity to your family and our community.
These trips are an incredible opportunity for our students to explore a new country, culture, and language, and we can’t wait to see them discover more about themselves, gain leadership skills, and grow more confident in the process.
Space is limited and comes on a first-come, first-serve basis for this trip. Our group had reserved spots. Please be sure to sign up as soon as possible! This trip will fill up fast!
If you are interested in learning more about our Spring Break to Dominican Republic for Spring 2026, click below: www.explorica.com/Perez-6297 Click I am interested and the zoom link will be sent to you.
