Tonight, 100 members of the Class of 2026 enjoyed time together at the Freshman Tailgate.

Thank you to all the parents for volunteering and donating; we are so lucky to have you all as part of our community. Soon, we will be turning our attention to Homecoming Week and all the fun and celebration of being a Lancer. I hope everyone has a great week ahead!
