As we move forward with the search for our next athletic director, I want to invite you to participate in the community interview phase of the process. This portion will take place on January 16 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Finalist applicants will rotate among three groups: students, parents/community members, and coaches/teachers.

Each group will be facilitated by a lead representative of the group. The lead's responsibility will be to ask questions to each applicant to ensure the interview for each candidate is consistent. If you have a question that you want the leads to consider, please complete the form below. You can continue to open the form if you have more than one question to have considered. The form will close on Monday, January 13.

After hearing responses from all finalists, attendees at the interview will complete a feedback form and provide a rating for each candidate. The information gathered will be used by the Leads to summarize and rate the candidates for each group. This information will then be passed on to the team responsible for making the final decision.

Last, I'd also like to thank all members of the community who took time back in December to offer feedback on the qualities our school will look for in the next athletic director. This information will be used in all steps of the process. Here is a link to a summary of the information that had been collected.

As with prior years, our students will participate in the End of Semester Week during which they will wrap-up their first semester coursework. To accommodate for assessments and/or other course activities happening during this week, students will have an early release schedule all four days. Please see this link for the schedule. Note that bus pick-up Jan. 21-24 will be at 12:45 PM. This is for the high school only as all other schools in the District have a regular day.
