Tar Heel Girls State is the longest continuously running Girls State program in the country. Rising seniors from across the state spend a week creating city government, political parties, and a state government. They elect officials, write and debate bills, create working governments and attend various workshops to prepare them for their senior year and college.

Since 1972, National School Nurse Day has been set aside to recognize school nurses. National School Nurse Day was established to foster a better understanding of the role of school nurses in the educational setting. School Nurse Day is celebrated on the Wednesday within National Nurses Week. National Nurses Week is May 6-12 each year.
We are thankful for all of our school nurses throughout the Macon County School System!
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
The work our teachers perform goes far beyond the classroom. They collaborate with families, engage with communities, and provide the kind of mentorship and guidance that will shape our students' lives for years to come. Teachers inspire our children to be curious, to be confident, and to be passionate about their dreams.
Join us this week in saying THANK YOU to our teachers throughout the Macon County School System!
