Homecoming Update: Cross County High School will host homecoming festivities Friday night even if we cannot find a replacement game. If a replacement game cannot be scheduled, tickets will not be required to attend. We will still require masks and social distancing while in attendance. Festivities will begin at 6:00 PM at Thunderbird Stadium. Thank you all for supporting our schools!

McCrory School District just informed Cross County School District that they are unable to play Friday night’s game due to Covid-19. As was the case last week, we are actively seeking a replacement game for Friday night at Thunderbird Stadium to have homecoming festivities and a great game of football. As of right now, the junior high team will still play Thursday night. We will release more information and updates as soon as they become available. As always, we are thankful to have the support of a great community during this time.

The Pink Out Game is October 30th!

There will be no Senior High Football Game on Friday, October 9th. Homecoming festivities will be rescheduled for 6:00 PM Friday, October 16th prior to the football game against McCrory. Starting Monday, October 12, players and Homecoming Royalty that previously purchased tickets can come to the District Office to exchange tickets for a refund or a new ticket for the game against McCrory.

As the week closes, we have pivoted two additional classrooms to online learning for the next fourteen days. We want to thank our teachers and staff for their hard work with our in-person, blended, and virtual learners. Our staff has been here extra hours, covering additional duties, and doing everything possible so we can stay in school. We will soon be starting our meal routes for virtual learners. If any family learning virtually would like to be added to food routes, please call the school office as soon as possible. Meal routes will also be used to distribute jump drives and supplies for our students without internet. We are so grateful for our parents and community members for their unconditional support. They have taken the challenges of this week in stride. We will get through this together! #TBirdStrong
