Welcome back from Winter Break! Grizzly Families, please be aware that we have implemented a couple of new safety measures over the break. Our new weapons detection system begins operation Wednesday, January 4th. When planning to enter the building, please be prepared to leave all items in your vehicle other than your vehicle keys and driver's license or Government issued photo identification card. Upon entrance to the building, all visitors must enter through the front office and sign in. No one will be allowed to enter the building from any other access door. Signing in on our visitor log will allow us to identify all persons in the building in the event of an emergency. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we grow in our ability to keep all students, staff and visitors safe.

With less than 40 hours until our trip to Nashville to compete against students all across the nation we want to thank everyone who has ever supported and believed in us. If this year hasn’t been a testament that you can do anything if you try then I don’t know what has. We want to also think the school district and businesses that have funded all of our adventures towards helping Cherokee County be the healthiest it can be! Here’s to attempting to be the nation’s top 10!
