This has allowed us to be in school all of last year and this year. Our community has been very supportive, understanding that to return to face-to-face, five days a week we needed to follow CDC, NCDHHS, and local health department guidance. We are thankful for the outpouring of support throughout the pandemic which has resulted in, not only retaining our students, but growing in numbers.
Mount Airy City Schools (MACS) has been successful over the years due in major part to the community of which we belong.
