Whitehall athletes will be riding in style in the new activity bus, purchased with a permissive use grant specifically for transportation needs.
At the March 5th Whitehall School Board meeting, Superintendent Hannah Nieskens announced the 2024-2025 school year calendar, which may surprise some due to how the Madison County Fair and holidays fall this year.
School will begin on August 20th, with Christmas/New Year's break starting December 23rd and classes resuming on January 6th, 2025. Graduation will be on June 8, 2025, with the last day of school for all others being June 12, 2025.
