This week, Hawkins County Schools kicked off the new academic year with a strong focus on community and collaboration. Students and families were welcomed back with opportunities to meet teachers, tour classrooms, and greet bus drivers, fostering a sense of excitement and familiarity before the first day.
The faculty and staff officially returned on Wednesday, July 30, for a General Meeting. The event featured a comedic guest speaker and set the tone for the year with a powerful challenge: "MISSION POSSIBLE." This initiative reflects the belief that with teamwork and dedication, the 2025-26 school year will be a resounding success.
