We love our outstanding Custodial Staff! They work so hard to keep our school looking beautiful! Thank You to our entire custodial staff! 🧹🧽🫧
Bonus Shout out to Ms Wasineus and her Leadership students for designing and building this outstanding showcase! 💙💛


Mr. Cook’s 7th Grade Treble Choir was joined by Western Branch alumni and Emmy Award winner, Patrice Covington! She spoke to students about her professional journey which has included work on cruise ships, Broadway, television, and film! Most recently, she was featured as Ursula in a professional production of “The Little Mermaid,” so it was only fitting that OUR Ursula got to sing for her! She also spoke about the amazing opportunities at the Governor’s School for the Arts! Thank you for your inspirational words and encouragement, Ms. Covington! #OnceABruinAlwaysABruin
