Did the Cherokee Performing Arts Center become the Cherokee Ocean?

Jason Buczko, Editor November 3, 2022
During the past summer, Cherokee’s very own Performing Arts Center (also known as the PAC) underwent a massive roof renovation. The company who helped install the new roof had an emergency protocol for inclement weather: a tarp. One night, a severe thunderstorm hit Cherokee overnight, somehow causing the tarp to break from the rain. When the workers arrived the next morning, they were greeted with destruction. The PAC was in worse shape than it was at the end of last school year, and now Cherokee had to work harder in order to restore it to its previous state.
