Express Bus

The express bus pilot for HMS students heading home to the Central School area has been a big success. For next year, the express bus will continue from HMS to Central, and we are exploring the possibility of expanding to round trip. In addition, we hope to add the McKenzie area and to include WJHS students. We will keep you informed.
