Much of Florida is facing the wrath of Hurricane Helene, but with South Florida only seeing minimal effects from the major storm, the public schools systems are choosing to resume after-school activities, which includes high school football games.

Broward and Palm Beach counties announced on Thursday that after-school athletic activities will resume on Friday, opening the door for high school football games to take place for the Week 6 slate.

No official announcement came from Dade County as schools remained opened on Thursday, with plans to resume after-school activities on Friday were already in-place.

Down below are the announcements from Broward and Palm Beach counties relating to the plans to resume normal operations and after-school activities on Friday.
