The Holladay A-Team gathered for a special celebration to honor and recognize the outstanding efforts of our dedicated bus drivers. These unsung heroes play a crucial role in ensuring the safe transportation of our students to and from school every day. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our bus drivers, whose warm and welcoming smiles brighten our mornings and afternoons, making the journey to and from school a pleasant experience for our students.
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.
Attention Parents:
