Congratulations to Farmington Alum, Claire Hanlin, and her Lindenwood University Competition Cheer teammates. This past weekend, they competed at Daytona Beach in the NCA Collegiate Cheer & Dance Championships and placed 2nd in the Nation for Division 1 All Girl Intermediate Cheer!


The ABC countdown is officially underway at the high school!
We had an awesome start last week with some fun dress-up days....Adam Sandler Day and Beach Day brought the laughs, creativity, and great vibes to our halls! Don't forget to submit photos to Mrs. Murphy so we can highlight all the fun and memories being made!
As exciting as this final stretch is, we're not done yet. There is still work ahead, so stay focused and finish strong. Let's make these last weeks count, both in the classroom and in the memories we create together!

This week, we’re proud to celebrate National Assistant Principal Week and recognize the incredible impact of Mr. Hoffmann! 🎉
From the moment students arrive to the final bell of the day, Mr. Hoffmann is a steady, positive presence in our building. He builds strong relationships with students, supports our staff with care and consistency, and helps ensure our school runs smoothly every single day.
Whether he’s problem-solving, encouraging a student, or stepping in wherever needed, his leadership makes a difference in both big and small ways. Our school is a better place because of his dedication, heart, and commitment to our community.
Thank you, Mr. Hoffmann, for all you do for our students, staff, and families—we appreciate you this week and every week!
