Report Card Conferencing is an event that brings in community mentors to meet with a group of randomly chosen students. In these meetings, community mentors discuss student grades, attendance, strengths, and weaknesses. Mentors give students helpful tips and advice on how to reach their academic and personal goals. Mentors meet with their assigned students once during the fall semester and have the opportunity to follow up with a second meeting in the spring semester.

KNOXVILLE, TN ― The Tennessee Valley Authority, in partnership with Bicentennial Volunteers Inc., a TVA retiree organization, is awarding a record $1.5 million in grants to educators in public schools to develop science, technology, engineering, and math education projects across the Tennessee Valley region.

“TVA is committed to supporting schools and educators who are inspiring an interest in STEM education in students across our seven-state region, as we know our young people will design and build the energy systems of the future,” said Jeannette Mills, TVA executive vice president and chief external relations officer. “Providing resources and access to STEM education is key to inspiring innovation and interest. We’re proud to invest in the next generation’s visionaries.”

Jill McCabe with McBride Elementary, Rose Michael with Howell Graves, and Kelly Morrow with Highland Park/Webster all received grants to support STEM education in our district! Congratulations, Jill, Rose, and Kelly!

More information.

In October, Rep. Kerry "Bubba" Underwood presented the district with $17,000 in grant funds to support resources, programs, and devices for our students.

Pictured with Rep. Underwood are Superintendent Chad Holden, Mayor Lockhart, Councilman Thompson, and Councilman Hall.

We appreciate Rep. Jamie Kiel dropping by the Muscle Shoals Career Academy on Wednesday, Nov. 15. It’s always good to have legislators representing your district who are interested in and care about public education and our efforts to prepare the next workforce.

Rep. Kiel also presented the district with a $10,000 community development grant.
