Hello Friends,
The Beaufort County Board of Education has a meeting scheduled for tomorrow March 1, 2022 at 6pm at 2900 Mink Point Blvd. One of their topics for discussion will be the changing of the school colors and mascot which would void the original agreement between the three local High Schools in 1968. We will need strength in numbers to convince the Board to honor the original agreement. Hope to see you there!
Yvonne and Charlotte
