The 2024 Lacrosse season will always be remembered as a team oriented, fun, and goal driven group who learned they can achieve anything they put their mind to. Over half of the team had never played before. We learned to succeed on many levels and to achieve things together as one. Our positive environment created a place where anyone can succeed on any level. If you are interested in joining the lacrosse team next year feel free to reach out, all are welcomed!
