I am glad to announce that MSHSAA has issued re-opening guidance for fall sports and activities that allows our first fall sports practices to commence on August 10th as scheduled. In consideration of the continuing risk from COVID-19, there will be additional guidance from our local health department, administration, and School Nurse to mitigate the risks faced by our athletes, coaches, officials, and spectators. Until that guidance is issued, please continue to follow current guidelines and recommendations. I appreciate your efforts over these past few months in giving our students the opportunity to return to play. Keith Gudehus, Athletic/Activities Director
