This is a reminder that all Seniors will need to take CPR or show proof of completed CPR certification to meet graduation requirements.
Here is what students need to do in the following situations:
Already have CPR certification: stop by the Main Office and Kelly McDonnell will make a copy for our records
Still need to get CPR certified: Take an online CPR course. You can complete your CPR certification online for $12.95. When you complete, turn in your proof of certification to Kelly McDonnell in the Main Office/Registrar’s office. You will take a quiz, then you will purchase your certificate after you pass the quiz. Upon completion, you will receive your CPR certificate. You can take the class at nationalcprfoundation.com

Make sure you have your parking permit displayed in the appropriate place of your vehicle. If you do NOT hold a permit, DO NOT park in the parking lot or you may be ticketed.
