Congratulations to our Staff Member of the Month of October, Mr. Luke Pratt. Mr. Pratt was nominated by his peers. As one staff member stated "Mr. Pratt shines with leadership and compassion. He takes charge and is on top of ever task thrown his way. He cares about the students and does a great job as class sponsor with the seniors. He does a superb job as the band director. I am baffled by how well he juggles all of the different responsibilities, but he does them well and with merit. " Great job Mr. Pratt! #TrojanWay
