Dear HS Parents, Students, and Community,
We are excited to announce that our high school baseball team has advanced to the State Baseball Tournament. We are proud of our student-athletes and appreciate the tremendous support from our school and community.
Due to vendor contracts and the number of families traveling in from long distances for graduation, we are unable to reschedule graduation activities. After reviewing all schedules and commitments, we will move forward with the following plans to accommodate both the State Baseball Tournament and our end-of-year activities.
State Baseball Tournament
Our team will play Marlow at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday at Norman North High School.
Semester Exams
Because many students will be attending the game on Thursday, semester exams will be adjusted as follows:
Even-hour exams will be given on May 12.
Odd-hour exams will be given on May 13.
AP Exams
AP exam dates are set by the College Board and cannot be adjusted locally. Therefore, the AP Computer Science exam will continue as scheduled on May 14.
The two students currently scheduled to test are not members of the baseball team. If either student chooses to test during the late testing window, College Board fees would apply.
Graduation and Senior Activities
Graduation will continue as scheduled on May 14 at 7:30 p.m.
All senior activities and graduation practice scheduled during the day on May 14 will continue as planned, with the exception of senior baseball players participating in the state tournament. We will work to abbreviate activities as much as possible to allow seniors the opportunity to attend the baseball game. This may be difficult to accommodate due to the 11 am game.
We appreciate everyone’s flexibility and support as we celebrate both the accomplishments of our graduating seniors and the success of our baseball program. This is an exciting time for our school community, and we look forward to supporting our students in all of these events.
IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE A LONGHORN
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Curtis Moses
High School Counselor/Acting Principal
