Important Update Regarding School Safety - September 9, 2024:
This morning at 6:00 a.m., we were alerted by the Sheriff’s Office about a potential threat of a school shooting targeting Marion County Schools. We immediately notified all parents, guardians, faculty, and staff via text to keep everyone informed. Please be assured that we have taken immediate steps to protect our students, staff, and community. We want to clarify that law enforcement has confirmed the social media posts being shared locally originated in Marion County, Kentucky, and the individual responsible was arrested this morning. You may notice an increased police presence around our school over the next few days. Due to the timing of this situation, we understand that some families did not send their children to school today. Any child not attending school today will be marked excused. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates if more information becomes available. The safety of our students remains our top priority, and we appreciate your cooperation and understanding during this time.

Free admission for Y-S students will be at the following games:
Volleyball:
- August 26 vs Cotter (season opener)

Jr Football:
- Aug 30 vs ICC (season opener)
- Sept 12 vs Hector
Sr Football:
