UPDATE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT (8/17/26 7:15 pm)
We have good news! Our school WILL have power within the next few hours, and we WILL have school tomorrow, Tuesday, August 18th.
Buses: We will not be able to run Buck Mountain. All the students around Oak Grove will meet at the Oak Grove Freewill Baptist Church for a 6:45 pickup. Please know that bus times may be a few minutes later as our drivers will be taking extreme caution. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these temporary changes.
An incredible THANK YOU to everyone who has checked on our campus, provided generators for our freezers, ran bus routes, and helped with debris cleanup. Your support, generosity, and willingness to pitch in have meant so much to our students, staff, and school community.
We are grateful for the incredible people who make up our school family. We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! 💙

Hector School District Families,
Our school has not experienced any damage from the storm that we have found so far, but we are seeing widespread damage and power outages throughout our school community.
Our transportation team is running bus routes to assess conditions and ensure our routes are clear and safe for our students. We are closely monitoring the situation and working with our community partners as cleanup and restoration efforts continue.
A decision regarding whether school will be in session tomorrow will be made by 7:00 p.m. tonight. We will communicate that decision as soon as it is made.
A tremendous thank you to Entergy and to all of the linemen, first responders, road crews, volunteers, and community members who are working hard to restore power, clear roads, and clean up the damage. We are so grateful for everyone who is showing up and helping our community through this.
Please stay safe, and thank you for your patience and understanding.
