New student representatives named; schools report athletics and academic highlights
Summary
The board introduced student representatives from Eagleton, Heritage, Samuel Everett and William Blount high schools and heard school updates including athletics results, AP scholar announcements and CTE/CTN renovation timelines.
The Blount County Board of Education on Sept. 1 introduced four student representatives who will serve during the 2025–26 year and heard short reports on school activities and accomplishments.
Eagleton College and Career Academy’s student representative, Audrey Wilson, described a welcome-back celebration, senior sunrise events and early-season successes for football and volleyball; the board noted that Eagleton’s business department produced a statewide-high pass rate on the state dual-credit business exam.
Heritage High School’s student representative, Ella Zunich, said school homecoming activities and fall athletics were under way and encouraged the community to follow Heritage on social media for event information.
Samuel Everett School of Innovation’s representative, Stella Campbell, highlighted staff additions, AP scholar recognitions and student extracurricular achievements. The district announced four AP scholars from Samuel Everett for 2024–25: Kaden Baker, Madison Carter and Matthew Guida (AP Scholar) and Joseph North (AP Scholar with distinction).
William Blount High School’s representative, Parker Sice, reported CTN renovations should be complete by late November and summarized the football and volleyball teams’ early-season records (football 2–0 at the time of the report). He also noted 25 students were enrolled in work-based learning and that the school’s ROTC cadets volunteered in Irwin, Tennessee following last November’s hurricane.
Why it matters: Student representatives provide the board with school-level perspective on academics, extracurricular activity and student engagement; the reports also flag facility timelines and student achievements that may inform board decisions.
Next steps: Student representatives will continue to report to the board during the school year; no formal board actions were recorded in response to the student reports.
