Washington College Bound Scholarship for 7th and 8th graders!

Now, thanks to a new state-sponsored scholarship, there is hope and incentive for students who otherwise might not consider college as an option because of their family's income.

This four-year scholarship, in combination with other state aid, can help cover the cost of college tuition, fees and books for low-income students who sign a pledge in the seventh or eighth grade. But, this year's eighth grade class only has until June 1 to apply!

Dear Bobcat Families:

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Boosters and all those who participated in making this years Bobcat Booster Auction, “South of the Border”, a success.  The auction was well attended and a fun time was had by all.
