Principal's Message
Conrad Families -
As we move further into the school year, it has been wonderful to see our students thriving in the classroom and our athletes giving their best on the field and court. The great fall weather has made these first competitions and practices especially enjoyable, and your support at games continues to make a meaningful impact on school pride and spirit.
We are also looking forward to some of our favorite traditions, including Homecoming Weekend and Spirit Week. Don’t forget to purchase your shirts and join us in celebrating Conrad pride! With so many exciting events on the horizon, I encourage you to check our athletics and activities calendar regularly to stay connected and engaged.
Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership—together, we’re making this a fantastic year for our students.
