A great opportunity to look into!

The high school gym will be used for voting tomorrow. Due to this, the SCC hallway, locker rooms, and gym will not be available to our staff or students. Due to limited space, there will be some adjustments tomorrow to prevent overcrowding.
Voters should enter via the Nash St. door.
Happy voting!
