We were gifted some photos of our local active military members from the Quasquicentennial. The high school would like to create a permanent area to recognize all of our active military members in our area. Some of the pictures we have are actual pictures and some are printed on color printers with the ink not being the best. If you are an active military member in our area (or the family of an active military member) and would like to submit a picture please send the picture (in uniform) to:

We need your cooperation!! IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SCHOOL BOARD PERMISSION TO USE THE BALL FIELDS, PLEASE STAY OFF! Three individuals used the field on Sunday afternoon while it was too soft/wet. This caused additional labor hours from our coaching staff and maintenance to get it ready for Monday's game. The community just invested several thousand dollars in improving the fields. We need your cooperation in keeping them in the best condition they can be. Thanks for your help!
