Dear School and Community,
It is with much regret that I have to post this message.
Our Homecoming game will have to be rescheduled for October 29, 2021, against Mount Enterprise. Even though, as is our understanding, High Island has enough players to compete, they are refusing to play and have chosen to forfeit the game.
The district apologizes for the inconvenience this has created among our alumni¸ community and student body.
We are monitoring the weather situation during this time. Please make sure you monitor the district website and social media outlets for the most up-to-date information.
Sincerely,
Eldon Franco, Superintendent
