Our school board members played a critical role during this unprecedented time,” said Higginbotham. “We also want to acknowledge our athletic directors and coaches for navigating teams through this season,” he added. Higginbotham commends the parents and guardians. “Without the parents and guardians adjusting and adapting schedules and routines, this would have been an even more difficult school year,” said Higginbotham.
