✨ A special new space for our amazing staff! ❤️🖤 This year, our McDade Secondary campus finally has a shared space where our teachers and staff can relax, recharge, collaborate, and enjoy a well-deserved break together. We couldn’t be more excited to turn it into a welcoming teachers lounge and library! If you’d like to help us stock the lounge, we’ve created an Amazon Wish List with snacks, drinks, and other items that our staff will enjoy throughout the school year. You can also drop off individually packaged snacks and drinks at the front office if you’d rather shop locally. Every donation, big or small, helps remind our educators just how loved and appreciated they are. ❤️ Thank you for supporting the incredible teachers and staff who pour so much into our students each and every day. We truly have the best community! 🐾 #McDadeSecondary #BulldogFamily #SupportOurTeachers #SmallTownBigSpirit

📚✨ What an amazing Back-to-School Night!
It was so wonderful seeing so many familiar and new faces as we kicked off another exciting school year. Thank you to all of our families who came out to meet our staff, explore the campus, and help make the evening such a success!
We are beyond excited to welcome our Bulldogs back for the first day of school on Wednesday, August 12th! ❤️🖤🐾
We can’t wait to see our halls filled with smiles, laughter, and learning. Here’s to an incredible school year—we know it’s going to be a great one!
