Members of Class of 2022 Honored at Senior Banquet

The Senior Banquet was held on the eve of graduation day.  After holding this ceremony virtually the past two years, it was awesome to get our varsity head coaches all together to once again honor our graduating student athletes as the finale of the Senior Banquet. Thanks to the best coaching staff in the state for taking another night away from your family to come honor our Bulldogs. It was a night full of celebration.

134 graduating seniors received varsity letters in each of their sports. 

Here are some Bulldog Highlights from the 2021-22 school year- led by this amazing class:

Coach Dave Delpico- our Varsity Wrestling Coach- will be stepping down after guiding the wrestling program through two very challenging, non-traditional seasons during the pandemic.

Being Honored for exceptional achievement in various areas of athletics were the following award winners on the night. If you see them, be sure to congratulate them!
