We urge you to follow the Mitchell County NC Government and Michell County Emergency Management pages. We will try to share community updates when possible, but like everyone else, we don't have cell service unless we go outside the area.
Mitchell County Schools will be Closed tomorrow, Thursday Sept 26th and Friday, Sept 27th due the severe rain and wind event predicted to hit our area. We are forecasted to receive up to 15+ inches of rainfall and sustained winds of 50 mph+. Rainfall is predicted to become heavy after midnight tonight. Please stay safe and monitor this weather event!
The Mitchell High School football game has been rescheduled from Friday until tomorrow night at 7:00pm. At this time, our school schedule will remain as planned, with a 2 hour early release day on Friday. We will continue monitor the weather and will keep you informed if changes are needed in the schedule later in the week.
Next week, September 23-27, is School Bus Ridership Week across school districts in North Carolina. The funding that we get for transportation is dependent on the number of students who ride a school bus during this week. Even if your child rides the bus occasionally, we ask that they please ride at least one day next week.
Today the students presented information regarding the various clubs offered at Mayland Early College. All students are required to participate in at least one club. Today's event allowed the students to learn about all their options. I appreciate all students who were involved.

Free Breakfast & Lunch for 2024-25 school year!!
We are excited about the upcoming school year and the changes and opportunities that it will bring for our students. As usual, kindergarten will have a staggered entry based on last name to help them become acclimated to school. Also, we will have a staggered entry based on grade level for Mitchell Elementary and Mitchell Middle this year. We hope this will be better for students to become familiar with the building and parents to become familiar with drop-off/pick-up procedures. Mitchell High School and Mayland Early College will have a regular schedule for all students beginning the first day of school. The document below outlines the schedule for the first week for each school.

School staff members are working diligently to ensure all textbooks are ready. If books are not returned promptly then our supply is limited. Thank you and enjoy the remainder of your summer break.
