Happy New Year

I wanted to extend my wishes for a  Happy New year to this tremendous community.  I am looking forward to a successful Spring Semester in the Swamp as we begin the new year/semester.  I encourage you to stay involved with the school community and continue supporting Gator Nation on all levels.  My goal is not to just work harder for the school community but to improve and continue the journey toward excellence in partnership with you. 

We have some difficult decisions approaching as our budget issues continue to be a point of emphasis.  The school board will be hosting budget forums early in 2012 for community, students, parents, and staff to discuss the buget cut proposals.  When those dates/times are announced I will get them posted.
