Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! “Building Lenoir City’s Future…one Student at a Time” is our district’s mission. Our students have hopes, dreams, and aspirations for the future. In Lenoir City Schools, it is our honor to open doors of opportunity for our students so they are prepared to realize their personal goals. Therefore, our vision “built on tradition, focused on the future” guides us to lean into the rich history of excellence in Lenoir City Schools while looking forward with innovative practices to support our students’ future success. Our Board of Education has adopted an aspirational but achievable strategic plan to serve as the roadmap paving the way to our goals. 

We are invested in meeting the diverse needs of our school family. Our school leaders prioritize open and proactive communication to ensure inclusiveness and effective collaboration with all school community stakeholders. Please contact your student’s teacher or building-level administrator when a question, concern, or good news arises. I am so thankful to work with you to serve our students' best interests. Thank you for your continued partnership and ongoing support of the strong tradition of excellence in Lenoir City Schools! 

Our website provides information and resources for our community, parents, and students. Please take a moment to review the Lenoir City Schools 2025-2030 Strategic Plan to learn about our district’s comprehensive efforts to serve our school community. 

Mr. Mark Hudson, our PR, Marketing, and Communications Specialist, updates our district information, and school staff maintain individual school sites. We also utilize Parent Square to connect with our families. I look forward to meeting you in person at school events this year! I can also be reached via the email link or by calling the office at 865-986-8058.
