1st Day of School 2020 September 8-9 [PHOTOS]
2020 is and has been a year of 1sts for many reasons! Students, teachers and staff in Hancock County are returning to school in waves, with some beginning on Tuesday, September 8th and some beginning on Wednesday, September 9th and Thursday, September 10th.
