The Blanco HS Theater Musical Production of Frozen was put on ice as cast and crew dealt with some health issues. This caused the postponement of 3 scheduled performances.

The new dates will be December 8 & 9 at 7 PM and Dec 10 at 2:30 PM. Mark your calendars and make plans to attend!

Construction Update
Construction is complete on the temporary student parking lot. Students and parents have adjusted to the change quickly. This lot is TEMPORARY and is only chip sealed at the moment. Once the ECA is constructed the finishing touches including adding curbs and topping the parking lot will be completed.
Fencing has been placed around the current (old) student parking lot. The current lot will soon be taken up and construction on utilities for the new Educational Center for the Arts will begin, with the building to follow.
Parent pickup is now in front of the school. Parents can pick up from 3:40-3:50. Buses will arrive at 3:50 and will also pick up in front. So far, the parent pickup line has progressed quickly and there has been no conflicts with the buses.
Check back for more details as the construction process progresses.
