We are proud of our students! We are proud of who they are! We are proud of how they represent this school and community! And, we are proud of our HIVE! Good morning Scott, I wanted to let you know we greatly appreciated your student section last weekend at our game.  They were very respectful and cheered in a positive manner in t
