With the latest development regarding the Waco-McLennan Heath District, please know that we are on schedule for returning to campus with the phase-in schedule starting August 14, 2020. Our Vision 2020 | Transition Team has met and we feel confident in the plan to open campus with Health and Wellness as a top priority.
