***HAND THE PHONE TO MS. POWERS
At this time we ask you to stand. The privilege of this day was made possible by those who have fought and continue to fight for the freedoms that we enjoy. Let us respect and honor their efforts by standing, placing our hands on our hearts, and reciting the pledge of allegiance. If you are wearing a hat, please remove it. I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Those are all of our announcements for today. Make it a great day or not Panthers, the choice is yours!
Today, May 8, 2025, we experienced a malfunction of our duress system, leading to several lockdown alert initiations within a short period. These alerts were false alarms. Our Technology Services team worked with service providers to identify the bug and stabilize the system. At no time were any students or staff in peril.
We are working with our partners to determine why this happened and take appropriate actions to make certain the system is functioning properly at all times.
We know lockdown notifications can be unsettling for some of our students. However, as we discover any system integration problems, we are able to fix them and build a more robust security situation for our students and staff.
Thanks,
Ric Seager

Girls Varsity Soccer welcomed the Comets of Coloma this evening for Senior Night. The visitors were no match for the Lady Panthers as the team set out to dominate from the beginning. Angel Nearpass would score the first, after only 2 mins of gameplay via a penalty kick. Less than a minute later, Courtney Van Lente would score the second and the third as well a few minutes after. Natalie Van Lente would score the fourth.
Chelsea Lange would be pulled out of her normal goalie position to get into the attacking action and would score the fifth goal. Alyssa Brown would add herself to the scoresheet and would convert the sixth goal. Riley Preston didn’t want to be left out of the action and would score the seventh of the match.
Freshman Katelyn Brown was not going to let the seniors have all the fun scoring and would add goal number eight to her name. Not content with only eight goals, Natalie would seal the mercy victory with the 9th goal. A perfect ending for these incredible seniors who have worked really hard to get where they are now.
The team will travel to Marcellus tomorrow for a 5pm kickoff in a non-conference matchup. Come out and support!
