School will be held as scheduled on Friday, March 9, with an early release of 1:00 p.m. However, any student that misses school to attend the playoff game in San Antonio on Friday, will receive an “excused” absence if the student provides documentation they attended the game (i. e. a game ticket stub/receipt) to the appropriate campus administrator.
