High Schools In County To Open September 1

Record Enrollment Of 600 Pupils Is Expected

Submitted by    Walter Preston

The high schools in Johnson County will open on Monday, September 1. The opening date was postponed because the new busses which were ordered did not arrive, and adequate transportation facilities could not be provided.

A record enrollment is expected in each of the three county high schools this year. Approximately 4,000 pupils have enrolled in the county grade schools which began in July, and a total of 600 are expected to enroll in the three high schools.

Repairs and improvements have been made in each of the high schools and the lunchrooms. New equipment for the lunchrooms have been purchased, and new busses provided to transport the pupils.

Pupils will register and principals will have organization meetings on Monday, September 1, and classes will start the following day.
