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.
