Thank you to everyone who came out to our tailgate last night and a special thank you to Frank and Lisa Schneider for organizing this! Also, we will be tailgating at all home games starting between 5:00 and 5:30. All are welcome and bring a dish to pass if you’d like. #GoChiefs!!

Chiefs win! 19-6 over the Soo! #GoChiefs!

Student parking assignments have been updated for this school year: Seniors park in Lot 1 (front), Juniors and Sophomores in Lot 2 (side-outside the auditorium), and Staff in Lot 3 (back). Police officers will assist with the transition next week. All student vehicles must be registered with the Main Office and display a valid Parking Pass. Parking is a privilege and may be revoked for unsafe driving or rule violations. Contact the JR/HS Main Office with any questions.

This competition may be too close to CALL! The Battle for the Spirit Stick has reached new heights. Multiple schools are claiming a 100% participation rate for the sport jersey/t-shirt challenge today. The contest results committee is currently reviewing all entries and, in frustration, has contacted the NCAA for an official ruling. We hope to have results back later this evening!
Go Chiefs! 🏆

I don’t know about the other buildings, but the District Office is at 100% participation rate today for the “Spirit Stick” sports jersey/shirt district challenge today! Go Chiefs! SB
