A Grand Slam for Clinch School! 🥪✨
Big congratulations are in order for the Clinch School team! Their outstanding commitment to showing up for our students recently earned them the top honors for February staff attendance.
To celebrate their hard work and reliability, the staff was treated to a special gourmet sandwich spread and sweet treat for dessert. It was a wonderful afternoon of great food and even better company.
Way to go, Clinch! Your presence makes a massive difference in the lives of our students and the success of our school.
Thank you for your dedication!
From troubleshooting devices to supporting teachers and rolling out new tech, their hard work often happens behind the scenes. Thank you for being the patient problem-solvers, the innovators, and the dependable fixers we count on every single day.

District Announcement: Online Kindergarten Registration for 26-27 is open!!! In-person registration at the school site will be May 1 and May 8 from 1pm to 3pm.
Progress towards readiness begins at birth and is influenced by families and friends, early care and education providers, and the community.
A ready child is prepared physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually. This means that each child enters school ready to participate in and benefit from early learning experiences that best promote the child’s success so that they are eager and excited to learn.
If you have any questions, please contact the Elementary Supervisor, Hope Malone at 423.272.7629 EXT 2006
District Announcement:
The 1st Annual Hawkins County Nurse's Bowl is officially in the books!
We are so proud of the students from both Volunteer High School and Cherokee High School who competed. These future healthcare professionals showcased incredible poise, skills, and mastery of content through hands-on skills challenges, a terminology exam, and a competitive quiz bowl!
The best part of the day? Seeing the amazing camaraderie between the students. Instead of just competing, students from both schools meshed together beautifully, supporting one another and learning together throughout the event.
Congratulations to the Volunteer High School student participants and Mrs. Keri Helton for taking home the win at our inaugural event! To our phenomenal instructors—Eric, Angel, and Keri—thank you! It is so evident that you are pouring your passion for the nursing craft into our students. Thank you for everything you do to prepare them for the future and for your dedication to our Hawkins County community.
