We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from our community and beyond. Our team continues to assess the damages this evening and will be back at it in the morning.

Dear WACO Families,
I want to share an important update with you following the recent storm. Our Jr./Sr. High School sustained some damage, and out of an abundance of caution, access to the building is currently restricted while we fully assess the situation and ensure it is safe for everyone.
At this time, we are still planning to have school tomorrow. We will continue to communicate any updates as we learn more.
I am incredibly grateful for the support of our community and the many individuals who have already reached out to offer help.
We appreciate your understanding and partnership as we work through this situation together and keep the safety of our students and staff as our top priority.
