📚 Help Us Preserve Sequatchie County History! 📚

The Sequatchie County Public Library is working to complete our SCHS yearbook collection, and we need your help! We are currently searching for yearbooks/annuals from before 1938, the years 1944 & 1945, and anything after 2008.

These yearbooks help preserve local memories, school history, and community stories for future generations to enjoy and research.

Donated yearbooks may be dropped off at the library or placed in our drop box at any time.

Thank you for helping us preserve Sequatchie County history! 💙
