Local schools note successful first week EBECCA PISCOPO | rpiscopo@kingsmountainherald.com The first week of school, for many principals, came with some con- cerns, like Monday's and Tuesday's - torrential rains, organizing traffic, and calming any doubts kinder- garners and freshmen might have had. But all concerns faded into the lime light of a successful first week. “It’s been a smooth opening.
