Due to the high volume of users attempting to access the transportation portal simultaneously, we have been experiencing technical difficulties with e-Link, specifically with out of zone requests. The Transportation Department is working with the software provider on a solution to this matter, and we will continue to monitor the system. Parents can still access transportation information through the Parent Portal.

Seniors were also recognized for completing cadet training and serving as models for lower class-men. It was a great evening filled with toasts, laughter, recognitions, food, and dancing. Among the guest speakers was Erick Knezek, who not only serves as Board Member for District 8, but also as someone who has served in the Navy, an advocate and supporter of the JROTC academies. Mr. Knezek was honored with a special award for his dedication and advocacy of the JROTC academies, in a surprise Presentation of the Flag ceremony.
