Former Olney High School Principal Matt Caffey and his wife, teacher Lani Caffey, will be returning to the Olney Independent School District for the 2023-24 school year, just one year after leaving OISD to move closer to family in East Texas.
Young County residents and local officials gathered on Feb. 23 to celebrate at the annual Olney Volunteer Fire Department Banquet. The event was held at the Olney Civic Center and it was a packed house this year.
Young and Jack County officials came together last week to devise a strategy for dealing with the region’s lack of mental health resources at a two-day workshop organized by the Texas Judicial Commission on Mental Health at the American Patriot Ranch in Decatur. The workshop resulted in a three-point action plan that will have the attention of state lawmakers and could move the bi-county effort to the tops of some grant and funding programs, organizers said.
The Olney High School’s production of its 2023 One Act Play – The Revolutionist – placed second at the District contest on March 1 in Archer City, and will advance to the Bi-District competition, OHS Principal Brianne Brock said. The Bi-District competition will be in Graham on March 21, she said.
