On September 9, Skyline Choir Council students Alexander Berlongieri, Edwin Jackson, and Grayson Gessert attended the MSVMA Student Leadership Conference, led by Dr. Emily Burch of the Savannah College of Art and Design.
The conference gave student leaders the opportunity to explore how they can make an impact musically, organizationally, and inspirationally within their choir community. Alexander, Edwin, and Grayson are excited to bring what they learned back to their fellow Choir Council members and classmates this year!

The score of the Saline-Pioneer football game at half isn’t quite where we’d like it to be—but the energy in the stands is everything.
Our cheerleaders and student section are enjoying Thursday Night Lights, and even Principal Desmond Smith and Assistant Principal Stephanie Roberts joined the crowd beneath an amazing sunset.
Second half, let’s go!
