🚔 HCA is thrilled to be working closely with the Aiken County Sheriff’s Department on June 17, 18, and 19. On these days law enforcement staff will be utilizing Building B for important training exercises. While this training is nothing to be alarmed about, please note that Building B will be off-limits to all staff, students, and visitors on these days. 📚 Events in Bld. A (Quest Zone and Credit Recovery), the Cottage (Summer Reading Camp), and Gym (Summer Basketball and Volleyball Conditioning) will proceed as normal, but please be aware of the special training occurring onsite. Thanks!
