Twenty years later, millions pray on their campuses on the fourth Wednesday in September. See You at the Pole™ is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. See You at the Pole™ is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event. For more information please visit www.syatp.com. Tri-State will participate in this event on Wednesday, September 23rd.  All students, parents, staff & faculty are welcome to join at the flagpole at 7:45am.  We hope to see you there.
