On Thursday, students who demonstrated growth on this year’s STAR Math and STAR Literacy assessments were rewarded with a well-deserved ice cream celebration!

January 27 is a day the Floyd family will always remember. On that day, Maddox Floyd was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), a rare and aggressive form of blood cancer. Since then, Maddox has been receiving exceptional care at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital—a place his mother describes with deep gratitude. In support of Maddox and the incredible work done by St. Jude, our school hosted a silent auction fundraiser during our most recent Parent Night. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised an impressive $943.00. We are immensely proud of the strength and resilience Maddox continues to show. Today, we had the honor of presenting a check for $943.00 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, given in Maddox’s name. #stjude

This week was about appreciating all of our employees because it takes us all to take care of our precious students. These people have a heart for your children. To all of the businesses that helped us out, THANK YOU for supporting our school. 💚💛

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved colleague and friend, Mr. Tim Dowler. He was more than just a member of our staff—he was a guiding light, a source of strength, and a cherished part of our community. For 37 years, Mr. Dowler has poured heart, soul, and endless energy into the Greene County Tech School District. Always the hardest worker in the room-showing up early, staying late, and doing whatever it takes to support our school. His loyalty, example, and love for people around him has left a legacy that words can’t fully capture. Mr. Dowler is a true Golden Eagle and will be greatly missed. https://www.heathfuneralhome.com/obituaries/tim-dowler
