Welcome to Mr. Pineda!!!!!

I would personally like to WELCOME Mr. Pineda to our Junior High Team. Mr. Pineda will be taking over all responsibilities as the Junior High Social Studies Teacher for the remainder of the year. This change comes as I leave to my new position with the school as Vice Principal.

Parents please keep an eye out for the weekly newsletter for contact and classroom information for the remainder of the year.

I would personally like to thank all the parents and students for making my time in Junior High a rewarding and memorable.
