Principal's Corner
   Congratulations to Queensbury High School students and staff for raising over $20,000 dollars during the "Power of Pink" activities that were held during the month of October.  Thank you to Sue Beadle for her time and efforts in coordinating many of these events.  Over 750 walkers participated in the North Country Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk on Sunday, Oct 28th at QHS.  We are all very proud of our students and staff who helped make these events so successful! 
 
Congratulations QHS Fall Sports Teams
