More pictures from the CTE Winter Showcase! Thank you again for all of the support shown for this event and for the hard work put in by students and teachers to make it possible!










Due to the winter weather advisory and forecast for Monday, Stokes County Schools will operate on a remote learning day on Monday, December 8, 2025.
Students should follow the remote learning plans provided by their teachers. If you have questions about expectations or assignments, please contact your child’s teacher or school principal for guidance. Staff should refer to communication from their supervisors regarding reporting expectations.
The Board of Education meeting scheduled for tomorrow night will be rescheduled. When a new date is determined, an announcement will be made.
Thank you for your flexibility and continued support of our students. Please stay safe and warm as this weather system moves through our area.

With the upcoming weather, we would like to share some tips to keep our Trojan family safe!

Friday was a great close to Spirit Week with pajama day! Thank you to everyone who donated to the Student Council food drive!



Students were so creative with their "anything but a backpack" for the Student Council Spirit Week!










Our Student Council is sponsoring Spirit Week to go along with their food drive. We have had some great "twins" today!
Suggested items for the food drive include canned goods, boxed meals, pasta, rice, and any pantry supplies. These items will go to King Outreach. The grade-level homeroom with the most items donated will win a donut breakfast or a pizza lunch!

Ms. Selbach's 6th grade class had a fun and creative lesson today! They played battleship to learn more about graphing ordered pairs!



Mrs. McDowell's students did a Volume lab on Friday! It ended with a rainbow surprise once their liquids were measured and mixed properly.
