Senior Night

Oct 22, 2019 | Color Guard, Concerts, HS Band, Parents, Volunteers

This Friday, October 25th, is Senior Night at the home football game vs. Monrovia. All Seniors and their parents will be introduced during pre-game.

Volunteers Needed

Parent helpers are needed to help set up and serve the Senior Dinner to all Band/Guard students. Set-up will begin at 4:30pm under the tent in front of the North Gym. Dinner will be served at 5pm.

If you are available and willing, please contact Nadia Ali.

Senior Parents

Parents will need to arrive by 6:20pm and we will head out to the field from the North Gym. In the past, the High School asked everyone to pay admission, so please take care of that prior to line up. It’s for a good cause 🙂
