Happy National Athletic Directors Week to our very own Coach Brett Jackson! 🏆
Behind every successful team, well-maintained field, and seamless game day is an athletic director working tirelessly behind the scenes.

His dedication does not go unnoticed. Here is what our players, coaches, and administration have to say about Coach Jackson’s incredible impact:
From the Field:
"Coach Jackson is a good coach. He works hard to motivate us. He will get out on the field and show us stuff. He is a really good coach."
— Diego, Soccer Player
From the Coaching Staff:
"He is always supportive, helps me with anything, and encourages me daily."
— Coach Worley, Head Football Coach
From the Leadership:
"Coach Jackson doesn’t just fill a role; he elevates everyone around him. As our Athletic Director, his constant willingness to go the extra mile has made our school stronger, inspired our students, and made our community infinitely better off. We are very thankful of having him as our Athletic Director and a great role model."
— Mr. Orrock, Principal
Thank you, Coach Jackson, for your unwavering support, continuous encouragement, and tireless dedication to our school, our athletes, and our community. We are beyond lucky to have you leading our athletics!

Taking vital signs is crucial, but empathy is essential! 🩺✨
Our Nursing Fundamentals students have been learning about taking vital signs and took their learning to the next level by trying out the Geriatric Simulator. Stepping into a patient’s shoes builds the compassion and understanding needed for real-world healthcare. We are so proud of their dedication to patient care! 💙
