We were incredibly honored to host State Representative Brad Fritts today, who presented an official Illinois House Resolution to our very own Bentlee Lawrenz.
Winning a State Cross Country Championship is a testament to Bentlee's relentless work ethic and character. Having that dedication recognized at the state level is a moment our entire school community will cherish. Congratulations, Bentlee—you’ve set the pace for us all!

Keep up the great work Mounties!

A huge thank you to Mr. Paul Klimson — music producer, sound engineer, and owner of The Roadie Clinic — for visiting our Middle School Band yesterday! 🎶
Mr. Klimson has worked with countless artists, from Reba to Justin Timberlake, and shared an inspiring story about his journey from playing in the school band in Morrison to building a career in Nashville and beyond. We all loved hearing about the many paths music can take you on, both on and off the stage, and are so grateful he took the time to encourage and inspire the next generation of musicians!
The sports ceremony for volleyball, boys & girls basketball, and cheerleading will be on Tuesday, March 10th at 5:00pm in the gym. There will be no food this year, awards only.
Thank you,
