On Monday, the Broadus High School debuted their new buzz-in door lock system, with your intrepid editor being the first visitor to enter through the system.

At the high school, the “buzz box” is located to the left (north) of the left main entrance door, tha...

Unfortunately, during my educational career I have noticed a decrease in volunteerism, the ability of students to accept adversity, and less grit. We take for granted the experie...

A system of student control has been established in the high school here and marks of demerit are registered again...
