Starting this week, our front office will be undergoing renovations and will be closed. During the renovations, we ask for your patience and understanding. One of our office staff, Mrs. Adams, will be moving to the lobby to greet visitors, check-in students, and answer the front door. Other office staff will be relocated to different offices within the building in order to answer the phones and meet other school needs. This change due to renovations could create some delays, and we apologize in advance for any inconvenience that this may cause.

When I’m not saving the world one ice pack at a time; you can find me spending time with my husband, our two dogs, Aspen and Archer, our cat, Meow, or running. I’m so excited to serve David Crockett High School as your school nurse.

Between 1982 and 1989, Pelafina H. Lièvre sent her son, Johnny Truant, a series of letters from The Three Attic Whalestoe Institute, a psychiatric facility in Ohio where she spent the final years of her life. Beautiful, heartfelt, and tragic, this correspondence reveals the powerful and deeply moving relationship between a brilliant though mentally ill mother and the precocious, gifted young son she never ceases to love.

Originally contained within the monumental House of Leaves , this collection stands alone as a stunning portrait of mother and child.

Also shoutout to Clara and everyone else who took pictures for me!

The administrative team understands that situations will arise requiring a meeting with administration. If you would like to meet with an administrator, please contact Laura Geske at geskel@wcde.org or (423)753-1150 so that she can schedule the meeting. You may also email administrators directly at the email address listed under their pictures above.

Administrators' schedules are full with classroom observations, student-parent meetings, professional learning meetings with teachers, and other requirements. When a meeting is not scheduled, those needing a meeting may be asked to wait in the lobby until the administrator is available. This could take a while, especially if the administrator is completing a classroom observation for the duration of the class period. In order to have the time needed to devote to the situation/concern, please schedule a meeting.

Phone calls requesting to speak to an administrator may also require a call back rather than an immediate response. The administrative team understands the urgency of some situations, and the team asks that you please leave a message with one of the office staff, and one of the administrators will return the call as soon as possible. Please be patient with the office staff as they are doing all that they can in that moment.
