Local News: Thurs. May 16

On Sunday, May 19, from 2pm-4pm, Colonel William Casey School will host an Open House for all who would like to stop by. There will be light refreshments served, videos and photos of the past, and perhaps you might catch a glimpse of Col. Wm. Casey himself wandering the grounds and reminiscing about his life.

Casey was built in 1960 and has seen 1000s of students passed through its halls over the past 53 years. Principal Patty Jones says if you ever were a student, staff member or supporter of the school we hope you will take this opportunity to walk through the halls one last time.
