Commerce Community - The first layer of rubber is going on the high school track today. It looks great and we’re so excited to have track meets returning this spring. The track will be closed periodically though the next several weeks. We have hung caution tape at the entrances. Please help us by staying off of the track while the workers are working and our new surface is drying. The track will need to stay closed to all traffic from now until January 23rd for this phase of work. Thank you!
Go Tigers!





Alexander Elementary is proud to recognize our 1st Semester Honor Roll students. Congratulations on your hard work and dedication!
