Principal's Message

Our construction project is moving along. All the TRIPLE pane windows have been hung and they are trimming the interior. New plumbing lines are in and next comes the fixtures. We also have been gifted with new fluorescent lighting across all our buildings including the gym through another generous donor! We are so BLESSED by the generosity of Shea Properties, Conserve Energy, LLC and the Fulcrum Foundation at St. George! I can’t wait for you to see and hear the improvements. Check out our social media sites to see the latest photos!
