Thank you for this pic, Bryan. It is "Priceless" for so many reasons. I don't see your Honors Stole, but I am sure that they know that you are a top scholar and student-athlete. Congratulations to you and your family!

David and Star were so excited about our new Assistant Principal, Ms. Galbreath, and our new Head Counselor, Mr. Duanas, that they could not wait until the fall; they had to go to Wilson and Cabrillo and meet them themselves today. 🐾💙🖤#Pantherpride #4theNorth
