The athletic department is in active communication with administration and health officials to ensure the safety of all of our student-athletes. Currently, the MHSAA does not have any COVID-19 protocols in place, however, this could change. We will be sure to keep families updated if any new rules or regulations are put in place. Until then, we look forward to holding practices and games as usual.
As a reminder, all meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are FREE to students through the end of the 2021-2022 school year.
