Poker Night Tentatively Rescheduled for 5/4

Please note that we have tentatively rescheduled the 9th Annual Main Event Poker Tournament to Saturday night, May 4th. Once again, we apologize for the late notice of having to postpone the event, and we thank you for your patience and understanding. We know that the new date may conflict with some families’ plans, and the DUDES will offer refunds to any attendees who cannot make the new date – please email [email protected]. We will provide more information about the event following spring break.

Join Boosters. No seriously, Join Boosters

Did your student played on a competitive team this year? Is your student on the Boys Volleyball or Co-ed Track and Field teams? Has your student played an intramural sport, including ultimate frisbee, basketball, and dodgeball? If so, we ask that you join Boosters today! As we continually say, unlike the high school, the middle school’s athletic program is almost 100 percent funded by booster memberships, along with some business sponsorships and community fundraisers. Membership is only $60, and that donation provides your student and others the opportunity to play in sport, be on campus with friends after school, receive coaching, wear a school uniform, use new equipment, have referees at games, have a season-end pizza party, have bus transport for our Cross-Country and Track and Field teams, etc. All of these things cost money and would not be possible without booster support. It only takes a couple minutes to become a member, and you can do so by clicking HERE. Thank you!
