The high school cross country meet that was scheduled for today at Comstock high school has been rescheduled for Thursday, September 10 at 6 PM. The bus will leave at 4:30.
The Governor has given the MHSAA and member schools the "green light" to proceed with school sports. There are still many unknowns right now that include number of spectators, social distancing requirements, concessions, and schedules. Our league member schools are all working together in conjunction with the MHSAA and the State of Michigan to develop our schedules and protocols. Stay tuned.

Greetings 8th Grade Families!!
We are SO excited for you to join us at the high school and make great memories for the next 5 years!! Orientation for all 8th graders is August 31, 2020. It is important every 8th grader and one parent/guardian attend the event. (We cannot allow additional people due to restrictions.)
Please go to the link and sign up for your time to attend. We have to keep the group under 50 so time slots will disappear as they fill.
Thank you, we look forward to seeing you!

High School Volleyball Update: Indoor practices are still not allowed at this time. Unfortunately, it is looking as though H.S. volleyball try-outs will need to take place outside. Try-outs will take place on Wednesday, August 12th and Thursday, August 13th from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at THE PRIMARY SCHOOL (track/stadium area), unless gyms are allowed to open prior to Wednesday, August 12th. If so, we will provide an update.
High School Athletic practices are scheduled to start next week. There are still many "unknowns" at this time. As of today, indoor practices are still not allowed. We do not know when games/competitions will be allowed to start and if spectators will be allowed to attend. Also, we will be required to continue to conduct health screenings prior to every practice. Please make sure you have filled out the Covid-19 waiver form and also the MHSAA Health Questionnaire that will be required prior to the first practice. Please call me or text me with any questions (Mike Woodard (269) 217-8230).
FOOTBALL: Starts on Monday, August 10th. Practices will be each day from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. with a break between sessions.
