💙 Happy Principal’s Day, Mr. Becker! 💙

This morning our staff came together for a special breakfast to celebrate one of the best — Mr. Becker! We’re so grateful for his leadership, kindness, and the way he goes above and beyond every single day. Whether he’s dressing up and reading to the kids, walking students to class, making sure everyone feels welcome and valued, or even getting globs of food smashed on him for a good cause, Mr. Becker tackles everything that comes his way with a smile and a big heart.

We’re lucky to have a principal who truly leads with care and makes our school such a special place!

College and Career Tech Week
Every high school in Mid-Del participates in College App Week. During this week, schools create opportunities for high school seniors, especially those who have never considered college or career tech or will be the first in their family to attend college or career tech, to receive hands-on assistance from knowledgeable volunteers to complete college applications.

To support these students and raise awareness for College & Career Readiness, we will be asking that all Barnes staff and students show support by wearing college or career tech apparel on Wednesday, October 1st!
