☀️Carter County is full of best kept secrets… from the mountains, to the trails, to the places we are proud to call home. But one of our greatest treasures can be found right inside our classrooms. This year, our students have shown the very best of Carter County through hard work, kindness, leadership, and heart. Thank you to our teachers, staff, families, and community for making this year so special.

To our students — we are so proud of you. Have the best summer!☀️
