Mitchell-Overturff Center for Industrial Trades Ribbon Cutting and Dedication
It was a great moment for the Slaton community and high school as we dedicated the new Mitchell-Overturff Center for Industrial Trades. The building was named in honor of longtime Vocational Education teachers Don Mitchell and Sherrell Overturff. Members of both families, as well as city and school officials, were on hand to cut the ribbon to officially open the center.

Independence Day Festival
It's back! Our summer is starting to look good. Since July 4th falls on a Sunday this year, our directors decided to move the annual festival so as not to conflict with church and to accommodate the class reunions. So, we will be celebrating our nation's independence on Saturday, July 3rd. To change things up a little more, it's been moved to the town square. We'll have our bands and local vendors as always. Plans are in the "works", we'll keep you updates posted.
