This morning, Broughton was buzzing with the news of Bill Clinton’s imminent arrival on campus. Former president Bill Clinton is due to speak at the campaign rally for Senator Kay Hagan on Friday, October 31.

The event is to be held in Holliday Gym, with the doors opening at 2:45 p.m.

“We have been told that this event will not affect our school day,” vice principal, Mike Ludwick said.

“This event will begin Friday afternoon after school has been let out, but they will be preparing Holliday Gym for this event throughout the evening on Thursday and the day friday,” Principal Stephen Mares said.

Students and teachers have voiced concern over how they will be able to navigate the predicted amount of traffic congestion while leaving campus tomorrow afternoon.

“We will be having school as usal on Friday, but obviously Friday after school will get a little busy with community members coming to Holliday Gym to participate in this event,” Mares said.

“Clinton will be the main speaker, but there will be several others in support of Hagan,” Ludwick said.

The event is open to the public but only those with a ticket will be permitted. Tickets are available at the following locations from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Thursday :
