Mitchell County Schools will dismiss one-hour early today, Friday, December 20. We have been monitoring the weather throughout the day and anticipate snow arriving by 4:00pm this afternoon. We want to make sure all students are home safely. We hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday and look forward to seeing students again on January 2.
A heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Felicia Swanson and her incredible team at Paper Pie Books for their generous donation of brand-new activity books, chapter books, and non-fiction treasures for our students. Your kindness and support mean the world to us, and our students are absolutely thrilled to dive into these exciting new reading materials. Your generosity is truly making a difference!

On Tuesday, October 15th, Troyers and Friends will be providing breakfast at 8:00 AM, lunch at 12:00 PM, and supper at 5:00 PM at the new Mitchell Elementary/Middle School. They will not be able to take call-ahead orders, as this will be first-come, first-served. They successfully served nearly 850 plates tonight, so try to arrive as close to the allotted times as possible. Also, please enter off of 226, circling around the front of the building and continuing to the back of the building for pickup. They will continue serving until the food runs out. The cooking is delicious, and we hope you stop by and enjoy!
We urge you to follow the Mitchell County NC Government and Michell County Emergency Management pages. We will try to share community updates when possible, but like everyone else, we don't have cell service unless we go outside the area.
Mitchell County Schools will be Closed tomorrow, Thursday Sept 26th and Friday, Sept 27th due the severe rain and wind event predicted to hit our area. We are forecasted to receive up to 15+ inches of rainfall and sustained winds of 50 mph+. Rainfall is predicted to become heavy after midnight tonight. Please stay safe and monitor this weather event!
The Mitchell High School football game has been rescheduled from Friday until tomorrow night at 7:00pm. At this time, our school schedule will remain as planned, with a 2 hour early release day on Friday. We will continue monitor the weather and will keep you informed if changes are needed in the schedule later in the week.
Just a reminder that next Friday is an Early Release Day!
Next week, September 23-27, is School Bus Ridership Week across school districts in North Carolina. The funding that we get for transportation is dependent on the number of students who ride a school bus during this week. Even if your child rides the bus occasionally, we ask that they please ride at least one day next week.
Are you interested in becoming a bus driver? Mitchell County Schools will host bus driver training next week!
Thank you all for a great start to the school year! Just a reminder that schools wills be closed on Monday, September 2 for the Labor Day Holiday and Tuesday, September 3 for Staff Development. We look forward to seeing students again on Wednesday, September 4!

Tomorrow will be our first day for all 3rd-8th graders! Please remember the drop-off window is 7:15-7:55 and pick-up is 2:45-3:05. We have seen this week that those who arrive later in the window are not waiting in line and driving through quickly! Thank you for your patience as we work to make drop-off and pick-up as safe and efficient as possible.
We are so excited to partner with one of our own Mitchell Miners to bring you the best Miners merch!! Come get your own swag provided by third grade teacher and local small-business owner, Justin Hollifield (Hi-Fi Soap)!! Proceeds from each sale benefit the school.
Mitchell Elementary School and Mitchell Middle School will host a Community Open House on Friday, August 16 from 5:00-7:00. Tours will be given every 30 minutes.
Mitchell County Schools would like to thank
@The Quartz Corp for their work to move our staff into Mitchell Elementary and Mitchell Middle School today. Quartz sent over 100 employees to load all classroom materials from Deyton, Bowman, and Harris, drive them in U Hauls and tractor trailers to the new school, and unload them into the classrooms. Quartz also provided lunch and shirts for staff. This was a day that truly was an example of "community" and a corporation giving back to their community. What a great day it was for Mitchell County Schools and Quartz Corp! Thank you so much!
