Press Release: UPDATE: Due to icy patches on roads at higher elevations and temperatures hovering around freezing, schools are closed on Feb. 7.  Please exercise caution if you have to be out on the roads. This applies to all students and staff; 240-day staff should report only if safe to travel.

Below is the original story:

In the interest of student safety, Pickens County Schools will be releasing early today,
Thursday, February 6, 2020. Pickens High School and Pickens Junior High students will be
released at 1:00 p.m. All remaining schools will release students at 1:45 p.m.
