Fair Play!
Congratulations to our High School girl golfers who took home the fair play award from their recent SEASAC Golf Tournament.
If there is ever a sport which rewards and values fair play, it is golf. We are proud of how our athletes play and compete against overseas competition. Our High School football and volleyball teams also competed at their respective SEASAC tournaments and did us proud.
Go Chinthes!
