This week we look back to 1966, when the Red Jacket senior class gathered in front of their brand new high school building—the same building that is our current high school today.

Sixty years later, this photo stands as a reminder of the generations of students who have walked these halls, built lasting traditions, and shaped the school community we are proud of today.

Congratulations to the Class of 1966 on their 60th anniversary.

Today, our seniors took part in the Annual Grad Walk, making their way through each of our school buildings one final time. From the Elementary School, where their educational journey began, to the High School, where this chapter comes to a close, they were celebrated by students, staff, and families along the way.

We are proud of all they have accomplished and wish them the very best as they pursue their future goals and dreams.
