Student drivers – Blackstock lot will be closed for
parking the rest of this week.. If you want to try out parking available in
front of The International building (right across Grand Ave from the Blackstock
lot) you are welcome to do so. After
this week there will be an opportunity to buy spaces there where you won’t get
moved out for special events! Thank you
for your patience and cooperation – it is inconvenient, but one of the costs of
our awesome location.

The ACT Senior Retake
Opportunity is Tuesday, October 2nd, 2018 at school. All seniors may take
the ACT for free on this date, whether or not they have previously
tested. All seniors are REQUIRED to complete the form linked below no
later than Tuesday, August 21st in order to register for or decline this
opportunity. The form contains further information. Reminder:
Taking the ACT is a graduation requirement in the state of
Tennessee. All seniors are encouraged to take the ACT more than
once as research demonstrates a 1-3 point increase in scores between the first
and second attempt and further increases in subsequent tests.
Quote of the day from Thomas Jefferson in a
letter to John Adams:
I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the
past.
