Attendance Matters!
One of the strongest predictors of success in school is also one of the simplest: showing up.
Research consistently links regular attendance with stronger academic performance, staying on track for graduation, and greater connection to school.
Every day at school is an opportunity to learn, connect with teachers and friends, and take another step toward graduation.
Be here. Be engaged. Be successful.

Last Friday, Mrs. Davis' Kindergarten class was named as Mr. Steve's Community School Class of the week! These students displayed excellent behavior, worked hard, and showed kindness and respect the entire week. The class received stickers as their reward. We are so proud of all of our students! Congratulations Mrs. Davis' Kindergarten class!
❤️ RESPECT ❤️
This month, we’re celebrating students who show respect in big ways and small ways every day! These students listen to others, use kind words, take care of our school, and make sure those around them feel valued and included. We are so proud of the way they show what it means to be Maroon Strong! 🌟

The lockdown at Swain County High School has been lifted and the perimeter lockdowns at the other locations have also been lifted.
The lockdown occurred at approximately 11:25 am due to a perceived threat by a staff member. Other school locations were placed on a perimeter lockdown as a precaution.
Local law enforcement responded quickly, conducted a search of the area, and determined that there was no threat at 11:59 am. At no time were students in danger.
Thank you to everyone for following the established emergency procedures.
As the district debriefs with law enforcement, additional details will be provided.
