Mitchell County Schools

Mitchell County Schools' websites will be down temporarily over the next few hours. We have some exciting upgrades and announcements coming VERY soon! Stay tuned....

Free Summer Reading Opportunity!!!

Summer Bridge Program applications are being accepted now! Please ask your current 5th or 8th grader about a permission slip that has been sent home!!

Update : Mitchell County Sheriff's office has investigated the incident and there was no arrest and no credible threat. All Mitchell County Schools have been placed on a soft lockdown for the remainder of the day. This is in response to a non-specific threat outside the school system that law enforcement is currently investigating. Students are continuing with classes as usual, but not allowed outside the building. School dismissal will proceed as usual this afternoon.

We would like to thank Shane and Kim Buchanan (Let it Shine) for refreshing the Board of Education sign by cleaning and painting!! It looks beautiful!!!

Deyton Elementary and Harris Middle Schools students had the opportunity to participate in the Duke Energy Science Night on Tuesday, April 18, 2023. Mrs. Sam Sirois and her 8th grade science students hosted the event. Activities included exploring air power with air cannons, creating gas powered rockets, investigating tree rings, microscopes, binary code, sound waves, magnetic properties, gravitational forces, electric circuits and strength of structures with marshmallow towers. Local veterinarian Jennie Stewart and Science night alum Hunter Wilson brought lizards, spiders, snakes and a cockatoo for students to interact with. @ncsciencefestival
