School was set to start on Tuesday, January 5, for Watauga County Schools, but officials have moved the start date up to Monday, January 4. Ashe and Avery County Schools are still scheduled to start the spring semester on Tuesday

As many of you may have heard, this is the last week our very own Bill Fisher will be in the High Country. Fish has spent decades on the radio, here on MTN, and as the stadium announcer for ASU sports, but with his departure to join his family in Florida by the end of this month, the 'last of' his events are lining up.  Already, there has been the final regular season home football game at ASU, during which Bill was honored by the broadcast and coaching staff in a video presentation late in the Western Carolina game.  And this past Friday marked another finale for the Fish, with an encore presentation of the rock opera Tommy with his band Eco Park. The reception and the performance took place at Watauga High School Auditorium.

This Friday the curtain draws on the longtime career of our very own sports broadcaster and morning news anchor. We wish Fish the best of luck with all his future endeavors and he will be greatly missed!!!
