STUDENT INFO

It’s that time of year…Prom Season!! Prom will take place in the Wildcat Arena on Saturday, April 26^th, from 7:30-11:00 pm. Prom tickets will be on sale from Monday April 21^st to Thursday April 24^th for $50 per ticket.  You must pay with CASH or CHECK – NO CARD PAYMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. Tickets are non-refundable.  The prom board will be selling tickets in the concession stand outside of the Wildcat Arena during third block to JUNIOR AND SENIOR STUDENTS ONLY.

A fire can break out with little or no warning. The more prepared you are, the safer you will be. Smoke detectors should be located on every floor of your home and near all places that you and your family sleep. Smoke detector batteries should be changed on a regular basis.

Calling all talented artists!  Are you creative and love the Wildcat spirit?  We’re excited to announce a Convocation Cover contest for the Class of 2025!  Show off your artistic skills by designing a Wildcat-themed cover for our Convocation program. The winner, who can come from any grade, will receive a $50.00 prize this year!  Submit your entries by April 17^th to Miss Toler in LC 307.  Let’s make this Convocation unforgettable with your amazing design!  Good luck, Wildcats! #Classof 2025 #Wildcat Pride

Because Roane State is using this Wednesday 4/16 to prepare AP students’ laptops for AP testing, the AP Language Review session with Ms. Jordan on Wednesday is canceled. Listen to the announcements for news about future review sessions.

Mr. Feuer will be offering AP Lit and Comp review sessions during 3^rd period on Tuesdays and Thursdays in CS 319. Please see Mr. Feuer if you are interested in attending.

Dress as an Author or Favorite Book Character, bring your costume to change into right after school, and hopefully win one of 6 gift cards. Cash prizes will also be given as door prizes just for attending!  Delicious light refreshments will be served along with tea and lemonade.  All Seniors are invited to attend the Tea and kick off the Senior Activities!  If you have any questions, email jzimprich@ortn.edu.

Seniors! You need to register for your FREE ticket to Graduation Celebration! Every senior is invited, but you must register! How else will we know how much food/how many buses/how many free “do everything at The Main Event” passes to have ready?!?  Remember that if you will not be 18 when you graduate, you must complete a hard copy (on paper!) of the registration plus register online. Hard copies were snail mailed and handed out with senior supplies; forms are also available in Student Services, or you may use the fillable form on Canvas and email to the email address on form.  There will be a $100 Cash Drawing at the Senior Tea for a lucky student from all who are registered by then! Don’t miss out on the chance to win – don’t miss out on the fun at the party – a win win opportunity – register now!

Seniors: all cap & gown sets have been distributed. If you plan to walk at graduation and do not have a cap & gown, please see Mr. Wise in Student Services or Mrs. Ledden in CS347 as soon as possible.
