🇺🇸 Bringing this back up to the top of your feed 🇺🇸
On Friday, September 11th, we will gather together as a community of Vikings and Bulldogs, but, even more importantly, as a community of Americans, to honor and remember the lives forever changed on September 11, 2001.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11, and we believe that taking time to pause, remember, and show gratitude to those who serve and protect our communities is something worth coming together for.
We are asking our Viking community to please share this far and wide with the military members, veterans, first responders, and their families that you know. Central Heights is going to be the place to be on Friday, September 11th!
Our incredible FACS students, led by Mrs. Reed, will be preparing a delicious meal to help fill your bellies before the game, and during halftime of our home football game, we will take time to recognize and honor those who have answered the call to serve. You will also get to be a part of our electric Friday Night Lights football action, hear the best pep band in the land, and witness all of the incredible things that make small-town America so very special.
We hope our stands are filled with Vikings, but even more than that, we hope that our stands are filled with people united by gratitude, remembrance, and pride in the community and country we call home.
Please help us spread the word. Invite someone. Share this post. Bring your family. We can't wait to see you there!
We remember. We honor. We stand together. 🇺🇸💙💛

Our Lady Vikings had a great night to kick off their season at St. Paul, where they took on both St. Paul and Crest in their first triangular of the season! 🏐💙💛
Our Varsity squad battled hard against St. Paul, coming up just short in some close, competitive sets before turning around and dominating Crest. Meanwhile, our JV Lady Vikings came out ready to play, taking control of their matches and never looking back on their way to a night of big wins!
We’re excited to see what’s ahead for these Lady Vikings! 💙💛🏐
