Our hearts are heavy this morning after receiving news of the death of longtime English teacher Dallas Allen. Mr. Allen was a dedicated teacher and will be greatly missed around campus and in the community. We also understand this news is very difficult for all of us to accept and that we will need to support each other during the grieving process.
Students, we want you to know that your teachers and administrators are here to help you in any way that we can.
We have also set up our counseling staff in the media center to assist any students who may want or need to talk with someone about how they are feeling.
