BIG shoutout to Mrs. Barton and Latta High School NHS for making today a huge success!
May 18 was Speech Pathologist Appreciation Day and boy do we appreciate Mrs. Shelly Williams! If you've had the pleasure of having Mrs. Williams teach your child, you know she is patient, kind and a wealth of knowledge. She does so much more than speech and is truly an expert in her field. Mrs. Williams, a Facebook post doesn't begin to touch how much we appreciate you and everything you do for our students!
Congratulations Laraby Jennings on now being selected for Native All State!
