💜🩵 Together in Love, Forever in Our Hearts — Jaleigh 🩵💜
This Thursday, we invite our students, staff, families, and community members who would like to participate to wear purple, teal, or lavender in honor of Jaleigh. This is a simple way for us to come together, remember a very special young lady, and surround her family, friends, classmates, and loved ones with support. 💜
If you don’t have purple, teal, or lavender, you are welcome to wear yellow, green, or white—colors that can represent hope, mental health awareness, remembrance, peace, and support. 💛💚🤍
Above all, we want every student to know: you matter, you are important, and you are loved. If you are struggling or simply need someone to talk to, please reach out to a trusted adult, counselor, teacher, friend, or someone you feel safe with. You never have to carry a difficult moment alone.
Please help us share the word as we come together this Thursday to honor Jaleigh and keep her light shining in our hearts. 💜🩵
✨ Long weekend ahead, Lions! ✨
Just a reminder — NO SCHOOL this Friday or Monday! 🦁❤️
🇺🇸 Monday is Labor Day, and we hope all of our students, staff, and families enjoy the extra-long weekend!
Have fun, stay safe, and enjoy the Tobacco Festival weekend! 🎡✨

August 18th was a huge day for Elliott County Golf at the All A Region Tournament, and we are incredibly proud of how our entire team performed.
The Boys Take the Region Title: Our Elliott County Lions brought home the win as All A Region Champions and are officially heading to Richmond to represent us at the All A State Tournament. Junior Jaxon Salyers led the pack with an impressive score of 43. Seventh grader Luke Howard was right on his heels with a 44, followed closely by freshman Grady Harper and senior Canaan Arrowood, who both turned in solid rounds of 45. Sophomore Lincoln Sturgill rounded out the squad with a 51. These boys played with relentless grit, heart, and teamwork from the first hole to the last.
The Girls Secure Their Spot at State: Not to be outdone; our Lady Lions put on an absolute clinic on the course, earning two individual spots at the All A State Tournament in Richmond. Freshman Maryn Sturgill blew past the competition to take 1st place overall with a stellar score of 45, showcasing incredible focus and control. Junior Mia West delivered a clutch performance of her own, firing a 52 to secure 2nd place individually. Both Maryn and Mia showed unbelievable poise under pressure, proving that the future of our girls' golf program is bright, relentless, and ready for the big stage.
Congratulations to all of our golfers on an incredible showing at the All A Region Tournament. Let’s go, Lions!

The YSC would like to give a huge THANK YOU to this amazing group of seniors (plus a few more not pictured) for helping with our 8th grade transition to high school!
These students led our 8th graders through the high school, introduced them to pathway teachers and core content teachers, and shared helpful tips and personal experiences about high school life.
We hope this experience helped our incoming freshman class feel more excited and confident as they take this next step in their academic journey. Thank you again to our seniors for being such great role models!
🚀 From Earth to Mars!
After a week of problem-solving, designing with criteria and constraints, and thinking like real engineers, my 6th graders brought their Mars colony visions to life. These models represent teamwork, creativity, and a deep dive into what it would really take to live on the Red Planet.
I am so proud of how much they’ve grown this year—not just in science knowledge, but in perseverance, collaboration, and hands-on learning. I hope they always remember 6th grade science as a place where ideas were built, tested, and brought to life. 🛠️🪐 #STEM #PBL #FutureEngineers

It’s a great day to be a Lion!!
