The dates for the High School Drama Festivals hosted by Mississippi State University and the University of Southern Mississippi have been set for December 5 & 6, 2008.
Unfortunately, these dates conflict with Subject Area Testing for those schools that are on the 4 x 4 (block or modified block) schedule.
If you plan to attend the regional High School Drama Festivals you will want to begin working with your administration to see how this affects your participation.
We cannot make changes to the regional festival dates or locations. We hope that you will be able to work around this situation.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
