Good morning, Hickory.
🎓 Education
Students in Catawba County return to school today as teachers and staff finish preparations for the 2026 to 2027 academic year.
School buses have resumed service across Newton, Conover, Maiden, and Sherrills Ford so drivers are urged to slow down near school zones.
Drivers and families must follow safety protocols as classes resume—drivers should slow for yellow bus lights and stop completely for red, while children wear helmets and use crosswalks to stay safe on their way to school.
🏈 Sports
The Hickory Crawdads won 4-2 on Sunday when Marco Argudin hit a three-run homer that put the team ahead for good & kept their 6.5-game lead.
They will travel to Wilson Tuesday to start a seven-game series.
