About STARS
 
STARS is a great option for military-connected families!
 
The small class sizes help students adjust to a new community quickly.
 
The accelerated curriculum is also great for students whose credits may not have transferred well from one district to another.
 
For more information about STARS and access to the application with the student code of conduct, check out the About STARS page. There you can also find links to enrollment procedures and the bell schedule, complete with information about tutorials as well.

Any additional questions can be answered by our principal, Margaret Rodriquez ([email protected]), our counselor, Misty Walters ([email protected]), or our Military Connected Liaison, Nicole Lewis ([email protected])
