Last Day of School & Graduation

The end of the school year is upon us! While it's been an unusual year, we're thankful to our parents, students, and staff members for their patience and understanding throughout it. Thank you for all of your support.

With the end of the year in mind, here are some important things to remember:

Last Day of School

The last day of school is May 26. Elementary school students will be dismissed at 12:50 pm and secondary students will be dismissed at 1:00 pm.

Graduation

Our graduation ceremony will take place on May 23 at 2:00 pm in the high school gym. Due to COVID-19, masks will be required but there will not be a spectator limit.

Questions

If you have any questions about the end of the school year or graduation, we encourage you to contact us.

Mental Health Awareness Month

Earlier this week, Eldon Mayor Jerry Lee Potts, signed a proclamation to make May Mental Health Awareness Month. His visit to campus to sign the proclamation kicked off our own Mental Health Week.

The week is themed as "Tools 2 Thrive," giving students strategies to combat stress and take care of their mental states.

Learn more about the proclamation and other steps we've taken to improve the mental health of our students and staff members on our website.
