Rock Hill schools end early for South Carolina eclipse view

ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) - Rock Hill students will be dismissed early Aug. 21 for the first total solar eclipse visible in South Carolina in decades.

The Herald of Rock Hill reported (https://bit.ly/2qhNQU8) that the school district approved the school calendar for the coming year in March. On Monday, the school board agreed to make Aug. 21 a half day, so students can view the eclipse that afternoon.

To make up the educational time, May 30, 2018, will be a full day instead of a half day.
