CONWAY — By this time next year, Kennett High School will have a drone club and the Eagles will be racing against other schools from across the Granite State.
The Conway School Board held a public hearing Monday night to accept a $13,780 grant from the state Department of Education to establish a Robotics Development Program. The funds will lead the way to establishing a KHS Drone Club.
