The traffic returned to 13th Street on Thursday and the drop-off lines were full of vehicles. That can only mean one thing. School has started in Kingfisher. That was the case as the hallways and classes were full of students and teachers across all five of Kingfisher Public Schools’ campuses. The same can be said in Dover and Lomega as well as Chisholm Trail Technology Center. School starts back for students in Okarche, Cashion and Hennessey this Thursday, Aug. 14.
