What a great night last night at Brummett Field! Thank you to the Central A&M football team and community for joining us for the first Week 0 Rivalry Game.

Pana was also able to take home the Coal Miners Trophy by raising the most money overall between the two communities.

It was truly a great night and we can’t wait to do it again next year at Central A&M!

Attention Parents and Guardians:
We want to inform you that we are currently experiencing a bus driver shortage. Please know that we are doing everything we can to ensure students are transported safely to and from school. However, there may be times when a bus route is canceled, or your child may arrive home later than usual due to drivers covering double routes. We will do our best to notify you in a timely manner.
We understand that this may cause inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these challenges. Your child’s safety remains our top priority, and we will keep you updated on any changes.
Thank you for your support.
