Thank you to everyone who helped make our Monster Mash Dance a spooktacular event! The students had a great time and danced the night away with their friends.

Our school community came together to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our students at the First Nine Weeks Student Success Pep Rally. The event recognized students who excelled in academics, attendance, and character.

The pep rally kicked off with a celebration of the students who made the honor roll and the students who achieved perfect attendance during the first nine weeks. Next, was the recognition of the students who earned perfect scores on the state ACAP test. These students demonstrated exceptional academic achievement and brought pride to our school.

The grand finale of the pep rally was the coat ceremony, where one student from each grade level was honored for exhibiting admirable character traits and serving as a leader for others. These students were chosen by the faculty and represent the best of our school community.

Students sat with their respective "houses" (Altruismo, Amistad, Isibindi, and Reveur), cheering enthusiastically for their peers who were being honored. The vibrant display of students wearing their distinctive house colors (black, red, green, and blue) added to the festive atmosphere.

The Shoals Chamber of Commerce is again providing an opportunity to recognize the incredible educators across The Shoals.

Each month throughout the school year, a teacher, educator, aide, counselor, administrator, or staff member will be recognized as the “Shoals Teacher of the Month” based on nominations received.

The nomination form for 2024 fall semester can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TOTM-Nominees

Northwest-Shoals Community College is the presenting sponsor of this honor, with Emily Stutts REMAX Infinity Realty and Treehouse Children’s Dentistry sponsoring middle / high school and elementary school teacher awards, respectively.

We love our educators and want to do our part to help recognize them for the incredible work they do for our children's future and the future of the Shoals community!
