2026-2027 School Year Begins!
It's back to school time! The first half-day of school is on Wednesday, August 5. The first full day of school is on Monday, August 10. We can't wait to see your smiling faces!

Behind every journey and warm morning greeting is a dedicated team of bus drivers, aides, and mechanics! Rain or shine, early mornings or late afternoons, our driver, aides, and mechanics ensure our students travel safely, comfortably, and with a smile.
It's Friday! Our favorite time to give a shout-out to the people, places, and moments that make our district shine ☀
At Kirkwood High School, they're celebrating three students who earned Top 10 finishes at the Tennessee Mathematics Teachers Association (TMTA) Math Contest.
Congratulations to Lane Horton, Shanmukha Raghulapadu, and David Lee!
The Kenwood High School football team visited the Tennessee State Veterans Home. They played games and served ice cream to veterans and their families.
Fourth graders at Rossview Elementary stepped back in time to experience Constitution Day like true historians! Students put their knowledge to the test with a Constitution Scavenger Hunt, got creative while making their very own Constitution hats, and, of course, no Constitution Day would be complete without signing their very own class Constitution.
As a Tennessee Purple Star District, we are proud of the relationship our schools foster with the military community. Rossview Middle School recently hosted a Military Appreciation Night to recognize its Fort Campbell Partner Unit, the 2-32 Field Artillery Regiment from the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division Artillery.
West Creek High School's Key Club spent three hours cleaning the entire campus! The school is grateful for the students, parents, and sponsors who endured the heat to support Mr. John, who does so much to keep the campus grounds looking sharp.
Rossview High School Seniors had the opportunity to visit Nashville State Community College and the Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT) to explore the pathways available after graduation. Both NSCC and TCAT are wonderful partners with the district, providing dual-enrollment and accelerated-pathway opportunities to students.
