Congratulations to all 780 students who made honor roll in the 2nd Quarter. You broke a record for the highest percentage of students to ever make honor roll in a 2nd Quarter– almost 67%. Seniors led the way. Those who earned Principal’s List with 90 or above in all classes did not break a record, but you do deserve a treat. So, on February 8, Dr. Zoeller and his team will have cupcakes for those who earned Principal’s List. Keep up the great work. Third Quarter ends on March 7. Stay organized, check PowerSchool and Rockspace every day, and keep breaking those records.
FCA meeting THURSDAY from 7:15-7:45 in convocation hall. Email carpenter@trinityrocks.com.
