The perfect end to an incredible Spirit Week! ❤️ From a range of Ugly Sweaters to the high energy of our Annual Alumni Basketball Game, this week was all about connection and the vibes were 10/10. 🏀✨
A massive thank you to our Student Council and SAA for organizing such a memorable week. Seeing our current Tartans and Alumni come together reminds us that this community is truly special. There’s nothing like feeling that Tartan spirit as we head into the holidays! 🤝

What an absolute whirlwind of holiday spirit! 🌪️✨ Our annual assembly kicked off with a beautiful tribute to the diverse cultural celebrations in our community, followed by a non-stop lineup of talent.
From musical performances and "Minute to Win It" chaos to Family Feud and the big reveal of our "Masked Dancer," the energy was unmatched! 🎭🎤 It’s always a great day to be a Tartan!❤️
Pancakes, plaid, and plenty of holiday spirit! 🥞✨
Our first annual Plaid Pancake Breakfast was a huge success. It was wonderful to see our staff and student Tartans slowing down to relax and enjoy a hot breakfast together before heading off for the holiday break. ❄️⛄
