Cross County School District is celebrating National Nurses Day! Please help us thank Nurse Tori for everything she has done for us this year! #NursesDay2021 #ThankaNurse #proudTBirds
As the Class of 2021 approaches graduation, most seniors are busy gathering caps and gowns. At Cross County, our seniors have one extra task: a formal Capstone portfolio presentation in front of a panel of teachers and staff!
At their Capstone presentation, seniors reflect on their educational journey, are quizzed on essential questions, and prove to the panel (and themselves!) they are ready to graduate high school. This is just one of many ways we prepare our students for life after high school! Wish our seniors (like Jamaille Beale pictured below) luck as they complete their portfolio presentations this week! #Classof2021 #proudTBirds
The High School Lunch Staff served the Seniors their "last meal" and wished the Class of 2021 well today. Their spirit, laughter, and joy will be missed in the cafeteria and throughout the building! #Classof2021 #Seniors #proudTBirds

Cross County School District is accepting Public Comments on our updated Ready for Learning Plan from April 15 to May 15. Comments can be made here: https://www.crosscountyschools.com/page/ready-for-learning-plan
Mrs. Sanders understands the importance of real-world life skills and that is why she organizes her Family and Consumer Science courses to provide students opportunities to leave her classes with applicable skills to use at home or the workplace. Her classes have something for everyone. Whether she is teaching students how to sew pajamas, make a delicious pan of cinnamon rolls, or how to balance a budget; she wants her students to leave high school better prepared. Students can even obtain a Serve Safe or CPR certification or participate in fun cupcake decorating contests. Did we mention Mrs. Sanders was a recent Teacher of the Month honoree?
Want to know more about our curriculum or programs? Give us a call at 870-588-3337. The school choice deadline is May 1.
