We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This school has amazing facilities, great faculty that actually cares so much about every student, and there are so many clubs, activities, and opportunities. Along with so many programs that help you with your future. I have loved spending the past 4 years with Unicoi County.
