Caverna 26-27 School Calendar
We are excited to announce Ms. Twana Hayes as the next principal of Caverna High School!
Ms. Hayes brings strong leadership experience, a deep commitment to student success, and a passion for Caverna students and our community. We are confident she will continue to build a positive school culture and help lead Caverna High School forward.
Caverna Middle School and Caverna High School are not merging. Ms. Hayes will serve as the lead principal for both schools, which share one building but remain two separate schools with their own codes, SBDM councils, and dedicated staff assignments.
