We're hosting the State Tournament next week!
The last time we hosted it was in 2018, and both of our teams won the semifinal game on campus AND the championship game in Hot Springs.
De'Myla Brown and Moses Moody were MVPs.
We're hoping to do this again!
Go, Cats!
Happy Friday!

The North Little Rock Board of Education approved the revised school calendar for the remainder of the school year. In order to make up days out of school due to snow and ice, there will be no more Early Release Wednesdays for the remainder of the 2023-2024 school year. By doing so, this will allow the school year to end on Thursday, May 30, 2024.
The revised calendar can be viewed at this link: https://5il.co/1pcvy
Last week, we sent a survey to our families to seek their input regarding making up the snow days. Nearly 83% of our families who took the survey supported the district's decision to temporarily suspend Early Release Wednesday.
Please keep in mind that if we experience more inclement weather, then we COULD have to extend the school year.
