Check out our updated marquee... WE HAVE PALM TREES! The trees and grasses were donated by P&L Palms. The installation was completed by Brad Wallace Irrigation and Landscape. The removal of the pampas grass was completed by Josh Blanton. The rocks, watering system, and additional plants were donated by Lowe's Improvement in Surf City. The STE PTO were the brains behind the project and a lot of the muscle as well. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!






A HUGE thank you to all of those who donated and came out to our campus beautification project. A special shout-out to Word of Mouth Services, Renovation Church, Blanton Construction, LFTM Construction, STE PTO, and staff. Our campus looks rejuvenated and renewed. Be on the lookout for more ways to support our school! Check-out some amazing before, during, and after photos!
