No school Thursday! Oops, yes there is. :(



The recent "snowcations" were a lot of fun, but its time now to pay the piper. Though Thursday was originally scheduled to be a holiday for students, it is now a make-up day for the time missed over the last two winter storms. Students are to attend classes on Thursday as usual. If you have any questions, call the TRiO Office at 214-860-8883.
