It’s rare indeed, when all five Houston County school districts coincide to have the same week off for Spring Break. While we had empty streets and parked buses, what did some of our local students get up to on their week off?

DJ Dickson – CISD 11th, “I went to Southern Arkansas University on a college visit.”
