Kindergarten-11th grade families: This Thursday is York Prep's Senior Celebratory Car Parade starting at 12:30 pm on the York Prep campus.

Because the seniors and their families will be traveling on our campus, we ask the following:

*Elementary and Middle Families: Please do not arrive for the carline until 1:30 pm or you might block the senior parade.
Thank you for your assistance and we look forward to celebrating our seniors!
