Athletics / Activities Update- 1-2-21
Happy New Year! Here is to 2021 being a drastic improvement from 2020!
As many of you are aware the State County review which occurred Thursday has once again placed York County in the Yellow color designation which means there will be no in person meetings after school hours for clubs, activities and athletics. It was announced the next review will come on January 14th. In the mean time we will not be able to hold in person meetings, practices or games.
We appreciate the frustration this causes and how much our kids need these programs as an outlet. We will continue to be prepared to go when we get the "Green" light. Thank you for your patience and we look forward to getting back at it as soon as it is safe to do so.

Hello all,
This year the Student Council is doing our school shirts a little differently. Normally we would order shirts ahead of time and then sell them to students and staff. This year we are taking more precautions and selling completely online.
You will place your orders online, and your items will be shipped directly to your home. Another luxury we have selling this way is there is a much larger selection of items!
We appreciate your support, and hope to see you all wearing your new Mustang Nation gear after break!
Please use the following link to access the store.
