Starting TONIGHT (10-4-24) on the east side of Hightower Memorial Stadium, we will activate new caution lights after the visiting team arrives and leave them on until the team has left. Additionally, we also block off the outside southbound lane of North Park Lane adjacent to the stadium so that visiting teams can park their buses. We ask all motorists to be on the lookout for pedestrians crossing Park Lane.
Celebrating Bilingual Children’s Month!

Constructing this simple machine helps you teach STEM and lets your kids learn about kinetic energy, concepts of force and motion, and the process of energy conversion!
