October is National Principals Month, and we are proud to celebrate the incredible leaders we have here at Cross County! 💙🤍
Principals play such an important role in shaping the culture of a school, supporting teachers, and inspiring students to reach their full potential. We are grateful for the dedication and heart that Mr. Cody Goulart at Cross County High School and Mrs. Jessica Stacy at Cross County Elementary Technology Academy bring to our district each day.
Please join us in thanking them for the countless ways they serve our students, staff, and community! 👏👏

The Thunderbird spirit soared higher than ever as we dominated McCrory in an unforgettable homecoming showdown! From the opening kickoff to the final whistle, our team played with heart, grit, and unshakable pride. The crowd roared under the Friday night lights as big plays lit up the field and our defense stood like a brick wall. Every touchdown sent waves of energy through the stands, and with every chant, the Thunderbirds grew stronger. When the clock hit zero, victory was ours—and so was the moment. Homecoming just got legendary. Thunderbirds win!
Big day all around! Congratulate with us our new Character Council!
