Mark, son of SCHS member, Pat Breckenridge, is a professional re-enactor bringing living history to kids in local school districts. Please bring your kids, grandkids, great grandkids for this evening of history for kids of all ages.

Meeting place
The meeting will be in the old board rooms, PD south and north, in the administrative offices. That means you can park in the front parking lot where there should be lots of space. When you come into the campus through the main entrance, go to the left as usual and drive as far as the end of the building. The administrative offices are there. Watch for a sign for SCHS. See map at page: PD North and South in the administration building.
