8th Grade Promotion Updates
Our 8th-grade students have accomplished so much this year and we couldn't possibly be prouder of their brilliance, kindness, and strength. This is a truly remarkable class and, while we will be sad to see them go, we look forward to celebrating their promotion to high school with an 8th-grade promotion ceremony and 8th-grade promotion dance.
