It has been decided to cancel the remaining 2021 Varsity Football Season. We plan on playing the remaining 4 JV games on our 2021 schedule. This was obviously a very tough decision to make for everyone involved. But we felt based on numerous season-ending injuries, low student participation, and numerous other contributing factors, this decision is in the best interest of the program and for the current athletes. We apologize for all of the inconveniences that this will cause to everyone involved.
Public Library cards are available for Unit 9 students! If your child would like a card, please fill out the form at this link:

Meet Mr. Nevills!
I am excited to become a Warrior as the Assistant Principal for both the high school and the junior high this year. I attended Illinois State University and have previously worked at St. Anne and BBCHS. My new role will allow me to not only support our teachers, but also build relationships with our students and community members. Everyone has been incredibly welcoming to me and has made the transition as seamless as possible. I look forward to welcoming back our students and families as we begin another school year filled with new memories and opportunities.
