Yearbooks are $55 for a limited time only, so make sure to order yours as soon as possible before the price goes up.

Community  & Guidance Ops:

It will be held on October 15,2016 at the Knoxville Civic Auditorium form 8:30am-10:30am. To register go to www.A21.org/Knoxville 

Quote of the day from Winston Churchill:

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
