REMINDER & UPDATE: Please remember the limited entry plan for this week’s home football game against Southfield A&T. This decision was made by mutual agreement and collaboration with the Southfield Public Schools. Limiting entry and starting the game early was determined to be a proactive approach to safety and security at this time.
Unfortunately, our decision is not unique given the recent safety and security incidents across the tri-county region. We expect our next home football game will proceed normally with our standard entry requirements and increased safety and security measures.

Student Count Day for the State of Michigan is Wednesday, October 2nd, 2024!
BE PRESENT, BE POWERFUL!
It is important for students to attend classes as verification of their attendance on Wednesday; It is one of two days during the school year when the enrollment taken helps to determine how much state aid schools receive. Students are more likely to succeed in academics when they attend school consistently. This graphic shows the impact good attendance can have on your child's academic success. Please make every attempt to be present on this day and EVERY DAY!
We will see you BRIGHT AND EARLY on COUNT DAY!
