Swain County Board of Education has moved their regular meeting from Monday May 13 to Thursday May 16, 6 o'clock at the Board room at 50 Main Street

Mark your calendars. May 20th the high school will be offering free physicals. Your student athlete will need a physical to compete in athletics. They will not be able to practice with their sport until a physical is on file with the Athletic Director. Forms are available at the middle school in the office or a copy can be emailed to you. Some parts have to be filled out and signed before they are able to see the doctor. A bus will transport students to the high school after school to get these done. Any questions contact Swain Middle at 828-488-3480 or email bledford@swainmail.org
