Big thanks from MCS to our local law enforcement for all your hard work and dedication. We appreciate you!
During the search, a weapon was discovered in one of the vehicles and was immediately confiscated by the McMinn County Sheriff’s Department. The student who was driving the vehicle will be charged in McMinn County Juvenile Court with possession of a weapon on school grounds and will also face appropriate disciplinary action in accordance with district policy.
At no point during this incident was there a threat to students or staff. The situation was handled promptly and safely.
The safety of our students and staff remains the top priority of McMinn County High School and McMinn County Schools. We are grateful for the continued partnership and swift response of the McMinn County Sheriff’s Department.

McMinn County Schools will be open and on a regular schedule Tuesday, Dec. 16. Have a great evening.
McMinn County Schools will be closed on Monday, December 15, due to extreme temperatures and concerns for the safety of students waiting at bus stops. This closure will also provide needed time for students and staff who have been affected by a recent increase in illness to rest and recover. The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our top priority. We appreciate your understanding and support as we take this precautionary measure. Scheduled basketball games will be played. Other extra curricular activities may still proceed at the discretion of the individual schools, additional communication will be sent regarding those activities. Please continue to monitor school communication channels for any additional updates.
