We are happy to announce that we have been contacted by our internet provider and they have advised that the circuit at Preston High School has been restored. This was a very quick resolution and we apologize for the multiple messages. PHS staff should now be able to complete any scheduled live sessions.
There is a current internet outage at Preston High School and the Preston County Board of Education Offices. Live sessions with PHS teachers will be delayed until the issue can be resolved. The issue has been expedited with the internet provider. Once the issue is resolved a follow up notification will be sent out.
