We welcome you to the 2011-2012 school year. We look forward to working with each of you to help you achieve your career goals.

This is a challenging time in our country’s history as we strive to meet the demands of global competition. For students, more opportunities are available educationally than ever before. For workers, more jobs demand higher levels of competence than ever before.

Our handbook is designed to be helpful to students and parents in answering questions that they may have about grades, diplomas, graduation requirements, attendance policies, and whom to contact when a question arises.

We look forward to a good school year, one filled with reading, studying, learning, working, and moving forward toward career goals for our young people.

If we can be of service, please do not hesitate to call upon us.

We are here to help our students follow their dreams and make possible a future that would not have been possible without a solid beginning in the Latta Schools.

We encourage hard work, careful planning, regular attendance, and constant reading so that students will be prepared for future duties as valued, contributing members of our society.
