The new normal?

My expectation is that this will be a fabulous and important year for all of us as we continue to navigate through unforseen waters.

My gray hairs tell me that we will overcome with grace and poise any difficulty encountered, and that many good things are on the horizon. I remain optimistic, resolute and hopeful that this will be YOUR year, students, to soar above the clouds and shine like the sun. We are going to the other side.

Welcome Saunders High!

There is a enrichment link where students can now practice their SAT test taking skills, check it out!!

"Wisdom is the prinicple thing, therefore get wisdom."

Word of Wisdom - "Wisdom is more precious than rubies, And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her."

What is wisdom defined?  Why is it above all else?  Why is it referrred to in the above quote as a "her"?  Why is the Word of Wisdom and not the Words of Wisdom? Hmmm...

Recommended Online Enrichment Activities:

1. Let's practice for the SAT as it is never too early to start!!!
