Due to a countywide water emergency and a current boil water mandate, Overton County Schools will be closed on Thursday, February 5 and Friday, February 6.
At this time, portions of Overton County are already without water, and officials have indicated that other areas may lose water as well while crews work to locate and repair leaks in the system. Because schools cannot safely operate without reliable access to potable water for drinking, food preparation, restrooms, and sanitation, this closure is necessary to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff.
We understand the inconvenience this may cause for families, especially following recent weather-related closures. Please know this decision was made in close coordination with local officials and out of an abundance of caution.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and communicate updates regarding school operations as more information becomes available.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we prioritize the safety of our school community.

Yesterday, we celebrated the teaching career of Mrs. Kathy Ray! Mrs. Ray has been teaching for 33 years, and has impacted many lives during her time in the classroom. Throughout her career, Mrs. Ray has installed a love for learning to all of her students. Her students will remember her kind heart, passion for reading, and love for Scooby Doo (her favorite)! Mrs. Ray is always the first teacher at school, and shows so much care to all. We will greatly miss Mrs. Ray, but we are all so excited for her next adventure. Happy Retirement, Mrs. Ray!! We love you! 💜💛💜
