The After the Ball Celebration for the Class of 2010 was a huge success. The students were able to celebrate the end of the school year and the upcoming graduation.

 A HUGE thank you to Lissa Wood who has been the chairperson of the event for the past three years.  Lissa and her family are moving to Ohio in the summer and she is "passing the torch" to Romy Callahan.  We wish Lissa the best of luck; she will be missed.
