Class of 21-22 Seniors and Parents,
We have received several phone calls at the high school asking when Sr. Composite pictures will take place. These will be scheduled after the start of the school year. Information will be given to all Seniors once that date has been scheduled. We typically have 2 consecutive days scheduled to take the pictures. There is also a makeup date that is typically scheduled later in the school year. Once these dates are determined, information will be given to our Seniors and we will plan on posting online as well.
Reminder senior high football players going to 7/7 Saturday morning 6-12-22 @Hoxie need to be at weightroom at 7:45 am.
Don't forget about our free summer meals for kids 18 and younger. The meals will be served at the middle school. Breakfast: 8:00-9:00, Lunch: 11:00-12:00
