We are going to have a packed house tonight! With opening night of our production of The Wizard of Oz and HS basketball games happening tonight, we have some important parking information. If you plan to attend The Wizard of Oz, please park in the Woody Parking Lot (the student lot behind the school). Those attending the basketball games, should park in the main parking lot. If you are planning to attend both events, we ask that you plan appropriately. The Wizard of Oz will run for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, starting at 7 p.m. We ask that people not arrive late or leave early to try and make it to a game. There will be another performance on Saturday at 7 p.m. as well.
