Power outage at Honea Path Middle School : Honea Path Middle School has now lost power to the entire school. At this time, we do not know when power will be restored. Due to this outage, parents and guardians can pick their child up early from the front office. All absences this afternoon will be excused. If you are unable to pick your child up early, Honea Path Middle School will operate on a normal dismissal schedule. We are currently planning to operate on a normal schedule tomorrow, May 20th. If this changes, we will let you know as soon as possible. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding! We will provide more updates as they become available.

It can be tough to tell if troubling behavior in a child or teen is just part of growing up or a problem that should be discussed with a health care provider. Learn more about warning signs: https://go.nih.gov/VDeJ75X #shareNIMH #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth
