 Senior T-Shirts

Senior t-shirts may be purchased by Cash Online accounts. The accounts should be released soon so spread the word to fellow classmates. The deadline for this first batch of shirts is tentatively dated July 16th. We will only do one more batch of shirts after this one so plan ahead to get your senior t-shirt (great for memories). This information will come to you by way of the email account connected with registration. We will attempt to get them to you before the first day of school but with construction, the delivery may be delayed.
