People are always asking me how can they help and what are our needs. One of our biggest needs is resources to support, incentive, and love on our teachers. Our teachers are the lifeblood of our school. Help us show them love by donating a few dollars. aueahs.givebacks.com/store/items/10…

Save the date…KCS!

What an incredible day! Six schools in Knox County revealed their career-themed academies 💼⚙️ We’re so glad to add these schools to the 865 Academies, and we look forward to seeing the amazing work of our students & staff to develop the next gen of leaders, doers, & thinkers!

As Winter Break begins, I couldn’t be more proud of our KCS team for their work this semester. If you see an educator over the break, please take a moment to say "thank you". Best wishes during the holiday season and we'll look forward to seeing students back in class on Jan. 4!

Don’t forget to set your alarms for tomorrow morning! The school year begins Tuesday, Aug. 8, and we’re excited to welcome KCS students back for a half-day! Find answers to all your Back to School questions: knoxschools.org/backtoschool.
