Hawkins County Schools originally planned to release the Summer Learning Camp registration link for rising 1st - 9th graders today. Due to additional information obtained from the Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE), we will be required to make updates to dates and times for Summer Learning Camps. Our hope and intent is to release information to you by mid-February for registration. Stay tuned to our district and school social media and website for updates and additional information. We apologize for the delay in Summer Learning Camp registration and are currently working with our education partners to release a plan that will meet the requirements of TDOE and state law.
Out of an abundance of caution, and per recommendation by Hawkins County Sheriff Department, Hawkins County Schools has initiated a hold and secure at Bulls Gap School this morning. We did not initiate a lockdown, nor were we instructed to take additional precautions. There is no indication that any students are at risk of harm. We continue to receive updates and we will update you when we are able. Again, this is just a precautionary measure.
Thanks,
Matt
On Thursday January 19, 2023 at approximately 5:00 PM Hawkins County Sheriff’s Office received information in regards to a threat at Volunteer High School that was posted on social media. After an investigation a Juvenile was charged with making the threat. The Juvenile was taken into custody at approximately 8:00 PM on Thursday January 19, 2023. The threat did not single any person out. On Friday January 20, 2023 Volunteer did have extra Law Enforcement presence. Volunteer did not go on any type of lock down, due to this incident occurred after school hours and the individual was not on school property. This is an isolated incident and no other individuals are involved. No other information will be released, due to being a Juvenile and pending court hearings.
Happy New Year From Hawkins County Schools
