Loudon High School

We came across this today and felt it was important to share as we go into this weekend. As parents ourselves, we know how dangerous the world of social media, gaming, apps, etc. can be. This video led by an agent from the Department of Homeland Security has some invaluable information and easy tips to keep our kids much safer on their devices. This is something that will be well worth your time. If we can save even one of our kids from a predator, it's well worth it. Have a wonderful weekend!

Loudon High will be hosting several TN Promise events on Thursday, November 20. First, our TN Promise Meeting is Thursday morning at 8:30. Seniors are expected to check in with their 1st block teacher then report with their phones to the auditorium for the meeting. They will be texted a link or QR code to check in for the meeting, and they must be in attendance for the entire 30 minutes of the meeting. They should all be back in class by 9:10. Dual enrollment students who have class at that time, please see Mrs. Waldron for an alternative meeting. All other seniors need to attend this meeting. Additionally, one of our talented seniors has organized a community service fair during skinny that day. All juniors and seniors attend. TN Promise has redone their community service hour requirement so that students can start earning hours in the junior year of high school. Lastly, we are hosting a Financial Aid workshop that afternoon from 3:00 to 6:00 to assist families in completing the FAFSA. We will have several reps here to help families finish up the financial aid aspects of the TN Promise requirements. This is especially important for our early grads. (They must complete two FAFSAs and their 16 hours of community service by January 12 if they plan to begin college in the spring).

Wishing the best of luck to Susy Galvan as she races in the State Cross Country Championship today in Memphis! You've worked hard, now go show them what a Redskin is made of! 🏃‍♀️🔥 #GoRedskins #StateBound #RunSusyRun

We are a week behind in congratulating Julian D for being chosen as last week's Northwestern Mutual Player of the Week presented by Brandon Millard. Julian is the biggest encourager on the team.
