Activities: IN THE 2019-20 SCHOOL YEAR, WE BEGAN WITH AN ENROLLMENT OF 270 STUDENTS. DUE TO THE COVID-19 SCHOOL CLOSURES, OUR ENROLLMENT DROPPED TO APPROXIMATELY 230. OUR HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM CONTINUES TO GROW WITH THE ADDITION OF A JUNIOR CLASS. DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, WE DID NOT ADMINISTER STANDARDIZED TESTS FOR 2019-20. WE WERE ABLE TO COMPETE IN THE COUNTY-WIDE SCIENCE FAIR. TWO CLA STUDENTS PLACED 3RD - ONE IN THE MICROBIOLOGY CATEGORY AND ONE IN THE ENGINEERING CATEGORY. WE ALSO HAD ONE STUDENT WHO WAS AWARDED THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE AWARD. ADDITIONALLY, OUR ROBOTICS FIRST LEAGUE EARNED A BID TO THE REGIONAL COMPETITION. DURING THE LAST QUARTER OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, WE SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED A DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAM THAT INCLUDED BOTH LIVE INSTRUCTION AND PRE-RECORDED LESSONS IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT OUR STUDENTS WERE READY TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT GRADE. WE ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY FINISHED WITH CONSTRUCTION ON OUR MULTI-PURPOSE BUILDING. THE BUILDING WILL INCLUDE CLASSROOMS, A LARGE GATHERING AREA AND A GYMNASIUM. OUR SPORTS PROGRAM CONTINUES TO GROW. THIS YEAR WE ADDED A MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM, TACKLE FOOTBALL, AND MIDDLE SCHOOL GOLF. WE MAINTAINED THE MIDDLE SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM, CROSS COUNTRY, TRACK AND FIELD, FLAG FOOTBALL, AND SOCCER.
