2022 Four Star Awards
The Four Star Awards is the annual event where we take the opportunity to thank all the students who participated in the band programs, making those programs successful. It is also a time to recognize outstanding efforts, award scholarships, and bid farewell to our Seniors. The Four Star Awards for the 2021-2022 school year were held on the evening of May 16. This year, in addition to the awards and recognition, we bid farewell to Junior High Director James Gates and Front Rank Advisor Lauren Foster, both of whom are leaving us to pursue incredible opportunities in their fields.
