Mr. Hagood's Social Studies classes took their skills to a higher level this week as students debated over important issues in US History!
Today we're giving a huge shout-out to our very own superintendent, Matt Hixson! He's a true superhero for our schools, leading with dedication and a clear vision for our students' futures. We're so grateful for his incredible leadership! #HCS #SuperheroSuperintendent
Superintendent Appreciation Day!
In honor of Hawkins County School Superintendent Matt Hixson, the Amistad House hosted a food drive and collected nonperishable items for the Church Hill Food Pantry.
Today, Mr. Hixson stopped by to meet with our Amistad Community Outreach Team, who presented him with a fabulous cake made by our very own Mrs. Patty and a fun superhero-themed picture!
This year’s Superintendent Appreciation Day theme was “Superheroes,” and we couldn’t agree more! Mr. Hixson goes above and beyond to support our schools. We are truly thankful for his leadership, dedication, and all he does for our students and staff every day!

What is the difference in truancy and chronically absent?
Chronically absent counts all absences: excused, unexcused, and suspensions and has a high negative impact on school success. Students who miss more than 10% of the school year are considered chronically absent.
Truancy is unexcused absences only. Families who continue to be truant will be required to attend a meeting with school officials and possibly a court appearance.
