Educational Tour: We offer 3 educational visits to tour our school throughout the year. View the tour schedule.
The agenda is a PowerPoint presentation in the Auditorium followed by any questions and answers (but is not limited to just information provided by the PP.) The group is provided a complete tour of our beautiful Campus. We always remind the group to wear walking shoes. Our guests are able to visit our Simms School (elementary), Willard Hall (middle school, high school), CTE Building, dormitory and anything else the group would like to see. At the end of the walking tour the group would have an opportunity to again ask any questions they may have.
