January 21-27, 2024, is School Board Appreciation Week in Tennessee. Overton County is joining public school districts from across the state to celebrate School Board Appreciation Week and honor local board members for their commitment to Overton and its children.
The theme “School Boards: Unlocking Opportunities” reminds us to celebrate the unique role school boards play in building a future for their students, championing and advocating for quality education, and governing their local public schools. As the elected/appointed representatives of the people in their local communities, they represent their local communities’ voice and vision for the future of their public schools.
School board members work many hours behind the scenes, making important decisions that impact the students, teachers, and families of Overton County Schools. We are grateful for your commitment to fostering a nurturing environment for our students.
As we express our gratitude, we also acknowledge the time you've invested in shaping policies, fostering collaboration, supporting innovative programs, and making pivotal decisions that positively impact the lives of our students and educators.
Join me in acknowledging the hard work and dedication of our school board members by giving each one a big "Thank You"!
Sincerely,
Dr. Donnie Holman and OCS Pre-K -12 School System
