New High School Push Is On

Last night as a parent of a Volley ball manager, I attended the parent meeting for all athletes at Rocky Mount High School.

Mike Gainey athletic director lead the meeting which went over several items of business concerning eligibility, attendance and insurance.

There were maybe three hundred people in the auditorium and coach Gainey had to apologize for not having air conditioning. The lights had been turned down as low as possible to minimize the light heat added to the room. There was a few minutes given to Mr. Lilley a former school board member who talked, using the conditions last night with no air conditioning as reasons for the need for a new Rocky Mount High school.

There was also a power point presentation given by Coach Gainey through the North Carolina High School Athletic Association stressing attendance, eligibility, insurance and most of all the health of athletes.
