It has been a long journey to 700 N. Progress Avenue.  The year begins with bumps and uncertainty as everyone finds his or her place in the building.  But few journeys in life are as rewarding as this.  We have the best facilities and the best community support anywhere.  People here truly believe in the future of our kids.  So, on behalf of every person in this high school, I thank this community for their investment in the future.  This school represents the efforts and sacrifices of hundreds of people.  Siloam Springs has gone above and beyond, and all of us are profoundly grateful.  I look forward to the years ahead as we are able to watch our community reap the rewards of this journey.  Thank you.
