Here is our athletic schedule for Thu, Jan. 9. Note that most of our games are cancelled today as one or more opponents are unable to play today due to policies regarding snow days in their districts. Will work today on getting those rescheduled and shared out with OilerNation.
We will be in session tomorrow for in-person learning. There will be early bird band and PE tomorrow. Schedules are finalized and a copy of the paper schedule can be picked up in the East Building Courtyard starting at 7:30 am.
There will be a 2 pm dismissal Thursday and Friday this week. All students need to bring their ID and fully charged Chromebook to school daily.
Please be careful when walking into the building. We look forward to a great 2nd semester.

After careful consideration of the current weather conditions and the impact on student safety, we will make tomorrow, January 8th an Elearning day for all students. While this does not set a precedent for closing school solely due to low temperatures, the combined factors of low temperatures, the dangers of walking and/or driving to school with compacted snow, and challenges with bussing create a situation where prioritizing safety is essential. Again, school for tomorrow, January 8th will be a remote learning day for all students. Thank you and have a great evening.
Mr. Miller, Superintendent
Here is an update to today's athletic schedule:
- Boys Basketball (FR, JV, and V) postponed to tomorrow night (Wed, Jan. 8th) Bus time is 3:15 pm for Greenville.
- Boys/Girls Bowling at Airport Bowl vs. Southwestern has been cancelled and a make up date not yet determined.
- Wrestling at Breese Central has been cancelled and a make up date not yet determined.
