2024-2025 Field Trips
**Update*** 8th-grade field trip to Chattanooga
Dear Parents,
We wanted to inform you about a change to the 8th-grade field trip. Due to recent hurricane damage impacting bus travel to Pigeon Forge, we have made adjustments to our trip destination. To keep our two-day trip format and pricing within budget, our tour company has helped us plan a new experience for our students.
Please view the updated trip information and sign-up link below. If you would prefer not to attend the revised trip, refund details are also included in the link. Since space is limited, we encourage you to sign up as soon as possible.
We’re excited to make new memories with our 8th-grade students and look forward to a wonderful trip!
