Attention Seniors: Balfour will be here on Wednesday, April 13 at lunch time to deliver cap and gowns. Also, graduation with weather permitting will be held outside. We will be facing the visitor bleachers this year, and we have rented extra seating to bring in as well. Just a reminder graduation is Sunday, May 22 at 3:00 PM.

At 1:00 on April 7th, we will distribute ASVAB results and teach students how to use the online career exploration tools. Results from the ASVAB Career Exploration Program (CEP) allow students to evaluate their strengths, estimate their performance in both academic and vocational areas, and identify possible careers (even ones they never considered). The goal of the ASVAB CEP is simple...to give students the opportunity to explore a variety of careers using information they have received from the assessment. The ASVAB CEP is a useful tool in career exploration and developing an educational plan.
