Six dead in Hardin County already this year. Four suspected drug overdose deaths in Allen County in 24 hours this week. More deaths in America from drugs than vehicle crashes last year - 50,000 people went to their graves because of illicit drugs.
Jenna Morrison, however, told a story of hope. She is a recovering addict. Recovering hasn't been easy, it's mighty hard, but with her fortitude and family love and support, she is winning the battle to stay clean.

Due to the number of closings this school year, the last day of school for grades K-11 has been moved to May 30. This will also be a 2-hour early dismissal. There is no school on May 29 for Memorial Day.
Should there be any additional closings, we will add additional days of school after May 30 until all necessary days are completed.
