Dear Community,
We recently discovered that two of our senior students were mistakenly left out of this year's yearbook. We understand how important these memories are and deeply regret this oversight.
We want to assure everyone that we are taking immediate steps to rectify this. We are having inserts created that will include the missing seniors' photos and names. These inserts will be provided to all students, so that every senior who had their picture taken will be rightfully included in the yearbook.
We apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding and patience as we address this issue.
Sincerely,
Swain County High School


Congratulations to EC Teacher Lisa Cooke for winning the SCHS Rock Band raffle, she is now the proud owner of a 2012 Fender Malibu Alkaline Trio acoustic guitar! Swain High would like to thank everyone who bought a ticket. The Rock Band Club was able to raise $300 from sales, which will be used to purchase a new bass guitar for the club!
