Clearing up athletic eligibility question

At a meeting last week of Salem Town Council confusion reigned over the impact that combining Salem and Walhalla enrollments will have for those Tamassee-Salem students who would like to take part in high school athletics.  We put the question to Dr. Michael Thorsland, county superintendent.  Here is his reply:  “If TS is not closed, TS students would no longer be able to compete in football for Walhalla. If TS is closed, all students will be immediately eligible in the school they enroll in, whether it be Walhalla, Seneca or West Oak.”
