We would like to thank all churches and civic organizations that offered to host sites. These sites were chosen to provide access off campus to areas with the most need and ability to provide signal.

In addition a map is provided to show best internet accessibility in the parking lots of each school. These school parking lots can be accessed each day beginning at 4 pm. For access to school parking lots during school hours in order to maintain safety measures, the school must be contacted prior to parking in the lot with name of the student, a vehicle description, and tag number.
