Men's high school tennis will begin workouts today from 4 to 5 pm, as long as the courts are clear of snow.
Due to possible black ice on some roads, Roxboro Community School will open on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Wednesday, January 19, for both students and staff. We are aware that main roads are clear, but we have received reports of problem areas on some secondary roads. As always, safety is our main concern.
High school men's tennis tryouts have been postponed due to remote learning. They will likely occur on the first in-person learning day, whenever students are able to return to the classroom. Stay tuned for updates!
Friday, January 21 will be a Jeans Day. The $2 donation will benefit Class of 2022 Celebrations.
According to our friends at The Courier-Times, "Former Roxboro Community School star basketball player Darius McGhee exploded for 48 points to carry Liberty University to a 78-75 win at Florida Gulf Coast. Darius is fourth nationally in scoring, averaging a shade under 23 points per game and is currently leading the country in 3-pointers made with 73. His 48 points broke the school and ASUN Conference's record for points in a game and was the highest scoring game this year in Division I. Here's a video highlighting all 48 points in Darius's epic performance Saturday. " We are #bulldogproud
