Important message about school for Thursday and Friday.
No school for students on Friday September 20th due to a scheduled Teacher Workday
SBI Agent Will Wright and his K-9 Ruige recently toured the Swain High parking lot. Ruige is specially trained to sniff firearms and explosives. Special thanks to the Sheriff's office, SBI and Town of Bryson City Police for their work in helping keep our schools safe!
This morning at 10:30, Swain Middle School held a lockdown drill. The drill had been planned for several weeks. Following the drill, the school's administration became aware of a rumor among students about the presence of a gun on campus. The administration immediately searched the possessions of the students named and found no evidence of a weapon. Swain County Schools is concerned for the safety and welfare of all students and takes every concern seriously. In an abundance of caution, the Swain County Sheriff's Department will have additional officers on the campus of the middle school Friday morning. Thank you for your continued support of the school system.
In loving remembrance of those we lost on September 11, 2001
