Alcoa City Schools will be closed this Monday, May 25th, in observance of Memorial Day. As we enjoy the long weekend, we invite our students, staff, and families to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in our U.S. military.

🗓️ Thursday, May 21 will be the last day for students. Please plan your schedule accordingly and get ready for an amazing summer break! ☀️😎📚

We are excited to announce that Dr. Jonathan Grissom has been selected as the new Principal of Pershing Academy of Learning. Dr. Grissom currently serves as an 8th-grade science teacher at Alcoa Middle School and brings experience from his previous roles at Alcoa High School and Collierville City Schools. We look forward to his leadership in this new role and the impact he will have on the Pershing Academy of Learning.

It’s National Teacher Appreciation Week, and we are taking a moment to celebrate the incredible educators who make Alcoa City Schools a place of excellence.

From the first bell at AES to the graduation stage at AHS, our teachers are the heartbeat of this community. They don't just teach lessons; they build futures, mentor leaders, and inspire every student to reach their full potential!

Last night, Thursday, April 16th, we celebrated the 2025/26 Alcoa City Schools Employee Excellence Awards. Congratulations to all our recipients! Your passion and dedication are the heartbeat of our district, and we are so proud to have you on our team.
