National recognition celebrates high schools that prepare students to succeed in college

2021 Niche Best School Districts in Tennessee results have been released and Greeneville City Schools, GCS, has been recognized as the #2 Best Public-School District in Tennessee, up from #4 in 2020. Additionally, GCS was ranked #1 in the following categories: Districts with the Best Teachers in Tennessee, Best Places to Teach in Tennessee, and Best School Districts for Athletes in Tennessee. GCS was ranked #322 of 10,760 in the Best School Districts in America ranking.

Greeneville City Schools Director, Steve Starnes, was recently elected Chair of the Tennessee Superintendent Study Council Executive Committee.  The purpose of the council is to provide an opportunity for the continuous study of problems pertaining to the education profession, and jointly evaluate, with the Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE), ongoing instructional programs and recommend changes designed to improve those programs.

The Greene County Health Department and the Greene County & Greeneville City School Systems are partnering to host free drive-through flu vaccinations for students and their family members. Participants remain in their vehicles throughout the process. Pre-registration not required.

Effective Monday, September 28th, all students who have chosen in-person learning will begin operating on an A/B Hybrid Schedule. Students will be divided into an “A” group and a “B” group. Individual schools will send a notification on Monday, Sept 14th alerting parents/guardians of the group to which students are assigned.

Students assigned to the “A” group will attend school in-person on Mondays and Tuesdays. Students assigned to the “B” group will attend school in-person on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Students will continue to complete assignments and watch teacher posted videos online on days in which they are not scheduled to attend in-person.

Students and staff will follow the safety protocols outlined within our GCS Framework for Safe Reopening of Schools.

Given the current conditions within our community, we believe this plan provides the safest environment for students and staff while providing a quality educational experience. As a reminder, throughout the year plans may be altered for the safety of students and staff. Thank you for your flexibility and continued support of Greeneville City Schools as we navigate this global pandemic.
