New Traffic Pattern At High School Entrance

By Mike Torosian, Production Coordinator

In the interests of increased pedestrian and driver safety, a new traffic pattern will be established at the High School starting on the first school day after the holiday break. Beginning on Thursday, January 2nd, all vehicles entering the High School area (except school buses) will be routed to exit onto Hayden Rowe Street via the Hopkins driveway. This will eliminate the unsafe convergence of traffic from the High School, Middle School, and school bus parking area.
