Biloxi Public Schools is conducting a survey to help determine which of two proposed calendars will be adopted for the 2011-12 school year.

The two choices were designed by the 2011-12 Biloxi Public Schools Calendar Committee, which is comprised of parents, students, teachers, support staff, administrators, athletics, and the community.

If you would like to participate, please follow the link below, compare the two proposed calendars, and select one. The survey will close on Friday, Jan 14. Please vote only once.

"Beware the Jabberwock," the award-winning production of the Biloxi High School Drama Department, will be presented this evening, Tuesday and Wednesday at 7 in the Lecture Hall at Biloxi High School. Tickets, at $3 each, are available at the door.

The production, which has been chosen to compete in the state drama festival in Meridian next week, also received an honor in regional competition in November. Michaela Moore was cited for makeup design for the play.

Jostens representatives will be on campus Thursday, Jan. 13 and 20 to collect money for cap and gown orders. The rental fee for the cap and gowns is $55.53, but the fee increases for late orders. Seniors will be able to keep the cap and tassel after the ceremony. After Jan. 20, the rental fee increases to $70.53, and after April 1, the rental fee increases to $80.53. If a senior orders a cap and gown and does not graduate their cap and gown fee will be refunded. Contact Mr. Boucher at the high school should you have any questions.
