Potential KCS employees visited our elementary, middle, and high schools today to catch a glimpse of the incredible programs at our schools and the high-quality teaching and learning happening in our classrooms! Thank you to all our guests for a wonderful day!

Great to see so many of our Knox County Schools students honoring our veterans at the Knoxville #VeteransDay parade today. Thank you, veterans, for your service!

On this #VeteransDay, I want to recognize my late father-in-law, U.S. Marines Staff Sgt. Mike Ratliff. Thank you for your service! You are missed.

I see you Kalib Fortner and Liam Fortner. Hard work pays off!

Tomorrow is the final Early Release Day of the semester! Students will be released at 11:15 (pre-K); 12:30 (grades K-5), and 1:30 (grades 6-12).

Grateful for the opportunity to hear from some amazing community leaders this morning. Wes Stowers, Erin Wakefield, and Dr. Keith Gray are a wealth of knowledge. Of course, with an all-star panel, you have the best moderator on the planet. There is no one better than Hallerin Hilton Hill

Thank you to Erin Wakefield, Wes Stowers, and Dr. Keith Gray for being part of our Executive Leadership Series — and to Hallerin Hilton Hill for moderating the discussion! Their insights about managing priorities, responding to challenges, and caring for team members were highly valuable!

KCS will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday from Wednesday, Nov. 22 to Friday, Nov. 24. Have a wonderful break!

I had the pleasure of seeing Kalib Fortner and Liam Fortner play and develop in high school. To see where they are today is truly amazing. I couldn’t be prouder of two former Bobcats! #GoArmy #BeatNavy
