Correction regarding recent letter about Seaforth High School
A recent letter came home to our Chatham County Community that stated Seaforth High School is located on the eastern side of Jordan Lake. This information is incorrect. The letter should have said Seaforth High School is located on the western side of Jordan Lake. We regret the error.
