Please be aware that we are scheduling periodic building drug searches, using law enforcement coordination. By the nature of the operation, these searches need to be unannounced. We know that the increased police presence at the building can cause community anxiety, and that news travels fast when it is noticed. Be assured that this has been planned well in advance, and there was not an emergency situation at school. At this time, the lock down drill is over and the regular school day has resumed.

Seneca-Tompkins Music Education Association's All-County Band STEMA's All-County Band Festival was able to return for the first time this year since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

The students who were selected to attend this year's festival worked with guest conductors from Ithaca College during the festival weekend and presented a concert on the afternoon of November 19th. These students all spent many hours after school hours preparing their music for their honors band rehearsals and performance. The following students participated in the High School Honor Band: Tajade Amisano (Alto Saxophone, 10th), Ruth Dendis (French Horn, 10th), and Abigail Sherry (Percussion, 11th).
