As you have heard, Benton and West Frankfort have suffered a tragic loss. We want to show our support for our neighbors by having a prayer circle/moment of silence on Wednesday, September 20 at 7:30 AM. All students and staff are asked to wear red or maroon on Wednesday to show our support. Please spread the word to invite all students, staff, and community members to join us.
