🏹🎯 Celebrating Our Archery Team, who recently competed at Booker T. Washington's Arrowfest on Saturday! 🏹🎯 Notable results: - Elijah Hanks 255 (out of 300), Personal Record and 5th place for high school boys - Asher Baxter 156 (PR) - Lillian Morrison 205 (PR) - Madelyn Cope 156 - Tyler Vaughan 174 (PR) Their success highlights the importance of creating spaces for every student to belong.
