Take a look at the difference! 👀
Thanks to our Energy Bond Project, we’ve upgraded the lighting in our high school gym from older fixtures to new, energy-efficient LED lighting. The transformation is easy to see—and the benefits go far beyond brighter lights.
The new LED lighting:
✔️ Improves visibility for students, athletes, and spectators
✔️ Uses less energy, helping reduce operating costs
✔️ Requires less maintenance and has a longer lifespan
✔️ Creates a brighter, more welcoming environment for school events
This project is one of many improvements being made through our Energy Bond, allowing us to modernize our facilities while investing in long-term energy savings. Be on the lookout for more energy bond project updates!
Check out the before and after pictures of our gym floor too! It looks GREAT!🐾
We're excited to share the upcoming school year's district calendar with you. We previously shared this calendar in the spring, and you can look for a physical copy of the calendar in the upcoming issue of The Aware.
More information on our back to school events coming soon!! 🐾
You can view the PDF version of this calendar HERE.
🏐A Fresh Look is Coming to Our Gym!🏀
Our high school gym floor is currently being refinished this week, and we can't wait to put it to use! This project will help preserve our court while providing a safe, high-quality playing surface for our student-athletes, PE classes, and the many events our community enjoys throughout the year.
T minus 7 days until day 1 of fall sports!
