As we reported earlier, Tennessee High was placed in a Hold while we investigate a situation. As we continue to investigate, we will maintain a Hold for the duration of the school day. A Hold means that students remain in a secure location and continue with classroom instruction. Students may be allowed to move throughout the building in a closely supervised manner. Tennessee High will dismiss on a regular schedule. We will share additional information with parents this evening.

As temperatures begin to drop, it's important to stay informed about potential schedule changes! For example, if there's a two-hour delay, school will start two hours later than usual but will dismiss at the regular time.

The annual Johnia Berry Memorial Toy Drive is underway from November 1 through December 3. This heartfelt initiative invites the community to donate toys for infants up to age 14 at area Food City locations and the Tennessee High Office.

All toys collected will be distributed to children in Bristol, ensuring that the joy of the holiday season reaches those who need it most. The BTCS effort is coordinated by the THS Civinettes and the BTCS Family Resource Center. The toy drive is sponsored by Food City, News Channel 11, and the Pharoahs Car Clubs of Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. For more information, please visit johniaberry.org.
