Fox High School prepares for a Presidential visit

By: Ryan Dean

KSDK -- It's a rare sighting at a school, members of the Secret Service going over logistics in the gym.

That was the scene Monday at Fox High School in Arnold.

The maintenance staff is putting down a fresh coat of paint and making last minute repairs. Teens in student government pitched in by laying a cover over the wood floor.

President Obama is making a speech at the school on Wednesday morning as part of a Town Hall meeting.

Classes are still scheduled while the President visits. The school is going to feed live video to all of its classrooms so students don't miss the event.

It's too late to inquire about tickets. Staff at the White House stopped taking inquires at 3PM on Monday. Those select few that were picked to get a ticket will be contacted by a White House staff member.

NewsChannel 5 is broadcasting the town hall meeting. It will also be on KSDK.com.
