FOR THOSE STUDENTS GOING TO SWTC AND WOSC

This detour will start Friday morning and should be completed by Tuesday afternoon. The best route identified is as follows:

In coming towards Altus from Hollis headed East on 62, turn left or North at intersection of 62 and 34 just outside of Duke; go 1 mile North to East County Road 162 where you need to turn right or East and go one mile East to County Road North 1920 where you turn right or South; go one mile and you can re-enter the Highway 62 going East towards Altus.

It appears that the state will offer a detour that goes all the way around through Olustee.

Please be prepared and know how to navigate the detour/construction.

You are invited to join Hollis Public Schools on Sept. 25 @ 6:30 as Teacher of the Year and Support Person of the Year are announced prior to the game at Will Husband Stadium.

Please review staff communication procedures. Thank you!
