Mitchell County Schools

We are so excited to welcome our newest learners for the 2026–2027 school year!

Starting kindergarten is such a special milestone, and we can’t wait to be part of your child’s journey.

In case you missed the Kindergarten event at your child’s school, you can begin the registration process today by:

If your child is already enrolled in Pre-K with Mitchell County Schools, no need to complete the registration form! Just let your school know that your child plans to attend kindergarten there. If anything else is needed, the school data manager will reach out to you.

**If your child is currently attending a Pre-K program outside of your assigned district, a transfer request must be completed in order for them to be considered for enrollment at that school for kindergarten.**

Don't forget! Kindergarten Registration for the 2026-27 school year is happening tomorrow!

Mitchell High School Future Business Leaders of America competed in the state leadership conference last week. 3,125 students across the state competed in business, leadership, and career-readiness skills through objective testing, presentation and role-play events, and chapter events. Out of the 21 MHS competitors, 12 made it to the final round, 4 received top-ten recognition on-stage, and 3 placed 1st place!

The Baptists on Mission: Building Mountaineers community service project focused on supporting recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene in Mitchell County. Partnering with Baptists on Mission at the newly-opened rebuild center, FBLA members provided humanitarian aid through volunteer labor, creation of a digital storytelling website, development of an inventory system for rebuilding supplies, and donation drives to assist families still struggling after the storm. This team will go on to compete at the national competition in San Antonio, Texas this summer.

A big congratulations to all competitors on a job well done!

Mitchell County Schools will have a Remote Learning Day tomorrow, Tuesday, March 17th. This is due to snow in areas and black ice potential as temperatures are predicted to be below freezing all day tomorrow.

Mitchell County Schools will dismiss 1 1/2 hours early today, Monday, March 16. Buses will load at Mayland Early College at 12:30, Gouge/Greenlee at 12:45, Mitchell High at 1:10, and Mitchell Elementary/Middle at 1:15. Car riders will be released after buses. Snow and freezing temps are predicted to begin around 3pm in higher elevations and move to lower elevations by 5pm. This will allow all out buses to complete routes before inclement weather becomes a factor.

Happy Pi Day!

Winter weather is here again! We are in contact with the meteorologist we consult with and believe the snow will move out of our area around noon with warming temperatures. We are not planning for an early dismissal at this time, but will continue to monitor the weather.

Happy School Social Worker Week!
Angela, Susan, Shannon, and Hannah are the best! 💜
