Seniors, are you ready to take over Hammond? Have you ever wanted to have the power of Ms. Reid’s walkie talkie? To teach a lesson about your favorite book? To sit in Mr. Griffin’s chair? Do you have what it takes to patrol the hallways like Officer Littlefield? Are you worthy enough to wield Mr. Osborne’s coffee cup? The SGA is hosting Senior Takeover Day on Wednesday, April 29th. Spend the day taking over your favorite staff member’s responsibilities for the day.

Be on the lookout for information through the Student Canvas Page in March and make sure that you are academically eligible and on track for graduation.
