Macon County Schools

Due to icy conditions on many side roads and below freezing temperatures until mid-morning tomorrow, Macon County Schools will be closed on Friday, Dec 5th.

As of now, Macon County Schools will be on time on Friday, December 5th. However, this could change if the predicted weather moves into our area. Hopefully, a decision can be made tonight, but in case it cannot be made until morning, please make arrangements for your children in the event we are 1 hour late, 2 hours late, or closed. Again, we apologize for the time frame, but thank you for understanding.

Due to possible inclement weather, the MCJH basketball games tonight at White House will begin at 4:30 and 5:30 with no jv games.

As of now, Macon County Schools will be at its regular time tomorrow, December 2nd. The latest forecast models predict that snow/freezing rain will be in the area beginning in the early morning hours. No decision will be made on school start time until tomorrow morning. It would be beneficial to make plans tonight in the event that we are one hour late, two hours late, or closed. Please plan ahead, just in case. We are sorry for the timeline, but it cannot be helped.

Macon County Schools receives ADVANCING designation from the Tennessee Department of Education

Under Tennessee’s accountability system, districts are expected to increase achievement levels for all students and demonstrate student growth across all student groups. Districts are assessed on their performance across six critical performance indicators measured through multiple pathways. The indicators include Grade Band Success Rates, rates at which students are Chronically Out of School, performance on the English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPA), and Graduation rates. District accountability scores are calculated using a weighted average of the district’s scores across all indicators and student groups to determine a district’s designation. The five possible district designations are Exemplary, Advancing, Satisfactory, Marginal, and In Need of Improvement.

Dear Macon County High School Families,
We hope this message finds you well! As we approach the TCAP (Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program) EOC (End-of-Course) exams for MCHS, we would like to emphasize the importance of attendance during this period.
Exam Dates: (Updated Dates)

- December 9 Biology and State Dual Credit Psychology
- December 10 English 1, English 2, and State Dual Credit History

These assessments are vital for your child’s educational success, and each day of school leading up to and including the exam days is crucial. We kindly ask that you ensure your child is present at school, arriving on time and ready to do their best.
Attendance is the key to success, not only for daily classroom activities but especially on test days. We appreciate your support in helping your child maintain a consistent school routine, as it plays a significant role in their confidence and performance.
