Members of the Class of 2023 honored at Senior Banquet

The Senior Banquet was held on the eve of graduation day. Thanks to the best coaching staff in the state for taking another night away from your families to come honor our Bulldogs. It was a night full of celebration.

129 of 202 graduating seniors received varsity letters in each of their sports. That marks 65% of the class earning letters. 

(Big shout out to Sierra Abbott- who served as an Athletic Dept. extern this spring and spearheaded the Varsity Letter project. She was amazing at this!)

Coach Eric MacKinnon- Our Boys Varsity Basketball Coach is heading to his alma mater- Oliver Ames- to take over their program. MacKinnon has been at the helm for two successful seasons and will be missed. 


Coach Joel Chamberlain- our Varsity Girls Tennis coach is stepping down to spend more time with his young, growing family. Chamberlain has been the steward of our Girls Tennis program for the past eight years.  A former Bulldog tennis player himself, Chamberlain brought great care, fun and a team-first mentality with him to the program. He will be missed!
