Holmes County High Football Game Info:
Friday night Holmes County High School Football will host Vernon High School at 7:00 p.m. at Memorial Field. There will be no admission at the gate for the game, rather we have partnered with, The Regular Guys Crisis Response Team (RG-CRT), a Military Veteran-led Disaster Relief organization. They will be set up at the entrance gates to receive donations towards those being impacted by Hurricane Michael. You may bring items such as food (perishable and non-perishable), water, snack items, baby supplies (diapers, wipes, powder, formula, food), personal hygiene products, and cleaning supplies. Your support is greatly appreciated!
Schools to Reopen Monday, October 22
October 16, 2018
Out of an abundance of caution and concern, Holmes County Schools will be closed the remainder of this week. This will allow our students, employees, and families time to take care of immediate needs incurred as a result of the damage in our area. In order to make preparations for the reopening of school on Monday, October 22, all 12-month personnel should plan to report to work on Thursday and Friday. All other employees are asked to report to work on Friday.
Fall Break will continue as scheduled on Friday, October 26 and Monday, October 29.
Our community has gone through a traumatic event, and most people just want things to be "normal" again. Schools are a safe haven for our students, a place where they find consistency and caring. The reopening of school conveys that our community is on track to a normal routine again, and a reassurance that things are going to be okay. Thank you for your understanding during this trying time. We are so grateful for the support our county has received from outside agencies, as well as our own citizens working together to help each other during the recovery process. We are stronger together! The road to recovery will be challenging, but I am confident that Holmes County WILL recover and rebuild! May God bless you and God bless the United States of America! ~ Terry L. Mears, Superintendent of Schools
