📣 Happy Principal Appreciation Day! 🍎 Today we celebrate the hard-working leaders who give their all to our school each and every day. Our principals truly lead with heart—loving students, supporting teachers, and creating a respectful, positive school culture where everyone feels valued. From stepping in wherever help is needed to setting high expectations that ensure our students and our school continue to excel, their dedication does not go unnoticed. We are grateful for their leadership, commitment, and care shown every single day. Thank you, Mrs. Davis and Ms. Cade, for all you do for our students, staff, and school community.

District Announcement: Hawkins County Schools will continue to be closed on Thursday, February 5 and Friday, February 6, due to unsafe secondary roads. Although the recent rain and warming temperatures have helped improve some of the road conditions, 80-85% of our secondary routes remain unsafe for bus travel. Due to warming temperatures and sunshine forecast over the weekend and into next week, we aim to open schools and run buses on clear routes beginning Monday. If this plan changes, we will send and post updates. Please refer to the HCS Bus Changes page: https://www.hck12.net/o/hcsd/page/buses for updates to our roads and affected routes.
