WINGS Program Update
September 23, 2020
We regret to inform you that we will not be able to offer the WINGS program for the 2020-21 school year. Holmes County was at the end of our 5 year grant period, and the application for renewal was not funded. This year, less than 30% of the renewal applications received were awarded funding by the Florida Department of Education. We have been blessed to have this program for a long time, and we are very disappointed that we will not be able to offer this opportunity for our students. We plan to apply for the grant again in May and hope to be able to offer WINGS again in the 2021-22 school year.

Due to the change in the track and speed of Hurricane Sally, Holmes County Schools will be CLOSED on Wednesday and Thursday, September 16 & 17. School will dismiss at normal time today, but all after-school activities have been cancelled. Buses will run on paved roads only this afternoon. Please continue to monitor weather conditions and take the necessary precautions to keep your family safe!
