To 2020 seniors & parents, There are a lot of scams out there to get money from you. If we had nominated your student for a national award, then l would contact the parent & the student. Scam organizations send certificates & then ask for money. Be careful, true awards are free!
Please see the June Football Newsletter from new head football coach Matt Leng and his coaching staff. Go Ducks!
