During the summer and due to COVID-19, our front office will only be open on Wednesdays from 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. except for the week of June 29th when we will be closed the entire week. We are also closed on Fridays, and messages will not be returned then. If you need assistance outside our operational hours, you should leave a message on our main line and someone will return your call.
Seniors who wish to pick up their diploma, or who need to drop off their laptop in order to receive their diploma, may do so on the Wednesdays that school staff is available.
Rising juniors and seniors who applied to be a 2020-21 Link Leader, please be sure to check your stumail! The Link Crew team emailed decisions today, 6/15/20!
Link Leaders, here are your farewells from your faculty advisors--thanks for your service, and have a great summer!
Goodbye to seniors in chorus and theatre classes from Mr. Fry--and remember, "Keep the Dream Alive!"
Well done! Thanks to Coach Dark for compiling this recognition video!

COVID-19 has kept some Chatham County residents from securing food. They may benefit from the newly created Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) Program.
The program provides benefits on an Electronic Benefit Transfer card, or EBT card. The benefits are for children who would receive free or reduced-priced meals, so it is very important to make sure the address on file for students is correct. The data manager at the appropriate school for students should be contacted to make updates to addresses, or call 919-542-6400 to make updates.
No application process is necessary to receive P-EBT benefits. The card will function like a standard EBT card, and the same guidelines will apply.
Those already receiving Food and Nutrition Services benefits will receive an additional benefit on their existing EBT card in the next few weeks. Those eligible for P-EBT benefits who are not already enrolled in Food and Nutrition Services benefits will receive a new EBT card in the next few weeks. Before that card arrives, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services will mail a letter explaining how to activate the card and how to use it.
The Chatham County Department of Social Services will receive questions about this program by phone at 919-542-2759 or through email at askdss@chathamnc.org.
Those using P-EBT benefits are encouraged to also take advantage of meal distribution at designated public schools and community locations. The meals are free for anybody 18 years old and younger. Find local meal sites by texting FOODNC to 877-877. Spanish speakers may text COMIDA to 877-877.
