A big THANK YOU to Soul of the Shoals Cafe for catering our faculty lunch last week!

Our team gathered to celebrate last year’s incredible growth and achievements, and we couldn't have enjoyed it with better food. As we look ahead to the current school year, we are energized and fully committed to reaching our goals: 70% proficiency in reading and 50% proficiency in math!
