There will be school Friday, September 27. Someone thought it would be funny to sow the seeds of chaos and fabricate a message saying school was canceled. You can always know if a post is real by checking our app or website.
Due to concerns over weather issues, the HIGH SCHOOL football game against Gibson County has been moved to THURSDAY at Gibson County. The game starts at 7 PM.
The JUNIOR HIGH game at Camden is still scheduled to be played on Thursday as planned.
Safety has become an increasing concern in schools across the state and nation. After extensive discussions, it was decided that steamers, poppers, glitter, and confetti makers would not be allowed in the stadium starting next season (2025). Signs were made for this, and regrettably, some confusion resulted around when they should have been put up and notice about the decision given on our social media/app platforms.
While we would greatly appreciate these items not being used during any games, they will be allowed for the remainder of this football season since they have already been allowed earlier.
Finding solutions for security issues is not easy. We all want to support our students, and we truly believe we have some of the best fans around. As always, we appreciate your understanding and hope to see you tonight at the game.
The Internet and telephone system are down across the district. Please direct emergency inquires to 731.441.9601. We apologize for any inconvenience.
A student had an issue that resulted in the ambulance being called to the Career and Technical Center. This was done out of an abundance of caution. As of this time, the student is in the care of medical providers and his parent.

The CHS A-Team dedicated a special moment to recognize and celebrate the remarkable bus drivers who diligently ensure the safe daily transportation of our students to school. It was a heartfelt gesture to award them with well-deserved gold medals as a token of appreciation for their invaluable service.
Please take note of this critical announcement from Sheriff Jeff Cassidy, President of the TN Sheriff's Association, regarding school threats.
We have received several concerns about a social media post tonight regarding a potential threat at Camden High. The Benton County School system and local law enforcement agencies are actively and thoroughly investigating the allegations.
There is no evidence of a threat against any Benton County school at this time. However, as a precaution, law enforcement will be present in increased numbers at schools tomorrow.
