Great win by your Lady Devils Volleyball team over Heritage Christian Academy

This morning at 10:30, Swain Middle School held a lockdown drill. The drill had been planned for several weeks. Following the drill, the school's administration became aware of a rumor among students about the presence of a gun on campus. The administration immediately searched the possessions of the students named and found no evidence of a weapon. Swain County Schools is concerned for the safety and welfare of all students and takes every concern seriously. In an abundance of caution, the Swain County Sheriff's Department will have additional officers on the campus of the middle school Friday morning. Thank you for your continued support of the school system.

Our JV Football team travel to Hayesville today for their game. Game time is slated for 6.

Volleyball in action at home tonight. Game time is slated for 4:30 instead of 4 today. Come out and support your Lady Devils

To kick off the 4th week of school at SMS, students and staff gathered for our weekly Maroon Meeting! We introduced the Weekly Act of Kindness Challenge: Aiming to pick up at least one piece of litter each day 🗑️. We also shared an update on club sign-ups 📝, letting students know they’ll get to begin voicing their club interests this week then signing up. Plus, we took a moment to celebrate our Athletes/Band Members of the Week 🏅—a big shoutout to those who are making us proud on the field and in the band! 🎷🏈🏃‍♂️⚽🏐 Congratulations to: Cade Sweet, Sam Lewis, Mollie Tooker, Koen Smith, Mia Bozarth, Rio Helpman, Savannah Taylor, Karin Greene! The highlight of the meeting was the game of the week: a highly competitive Tug-o-War 💪 as part of our ongoing Viking Games in honor of Coach Payne. The grade levels faced off, and 8th grade 🥇 emerged victorious, taking first place! We’re excited and ready for another fantastic week at Swain Middle School! 🎉
