Has anyone heard anything about the senior pictures. I’ve seen other schools have had theirs done, but nothing from you all.

Our time spent apart Has left a void in my heart. As I watched you learn and grow It saddened me to see you go. I know you may be confused And can’t make sense of it all. Just hold on to your faith And it won’t let you fall. Somehow, we will make it through all this And emerge much better than before. Although the times we shared will be missed Our memories will linger long after we close the door. I Love You🥰😘 V.Y. Loffman

No body knows tommorrow why won't reply

This will prob be deleted but here goes Dear students, I am 58 years old, but I have memories of being in high school. I have to admit that things have changed a lot in the 40 plus years that have passed in the meantime. I didn’t have the blessing and the curse of modern technology. I went to a small rural school that taught the students of not one, but two small towns, Wartrace, Tennessee and Bell Buckle, Tennessee. Google those towns or Cascade High School and you can get an idea of what it is like today. Of course, I went to Cascade 40 plus years ago. My graduating class totaled like 28 or 29. Cascade has grown but it is still not an inner city urban high school. Still, humans are humans and share some similar human experiences, regardless of the place or the time. I can remember being in school and I can remember how much I couldn’t wait to graduate. I also remember doing a seemingly endless amount of homework. I couldn’t wait to be finished with that too! Sometimes, I would lament about the teachers being unreasonable jerks (insert your favorite identifier). I can remember grumbling about how Teacher A must think that her class was the only dang class that I had! She must not know that Teacher B, teacher C, Teacher D…..also assigned homework and also gave projects and exams! In fact, those teachers must have conspired in order to gang up on me and my fellow classmates. Those teachers must be trying to torture me and make my life hard! The thing is, those teachers were not trying to make my life more difficult. They had been assigned the difficult task of teaching subjects that many students had no interest in, subjects that many students thought they would never ever, ever use again in their lives, students like me who were dreaming of graduating so they wouldn’t have to worry about homework! That is not an easy task and it is not a task for the faint-hearted. Those teachers were busting their butts to try light my little fizzling out flame so that I might be inspired to flame up and not only learn, but to enjoy learning, to seek out learning and to shine! Those teachers weren’t trying to see how difficult they could make my life or the lives of my friends, they knew that life itself is hard and in their own way, they were trying to prepare me for dealing with those hardships too. I was not only learning algebra and English and chemistry and physics; I was learning how to prioritize my time, I was learning how to discipline myself so that I didn’t pull an all-nighter cramming for a test, I was learning that if I worked hard and studied, I would gain knowledge even if some of that knowledge did not seem worthwhile at the time! I learned that if I had trouble in some subject, I could study harder, I could ask friends who understood what I didn’t to help me to understand. I learned that even when I missed a question, I could later find the answer to that question and if ever asked again, I would know the answer. I can honestly say that 40 plus years after high school, none of the knowledge I gained has harmed me in any way and most of it has helped me in some way! Even that knowledge that I had thought useless has not harmed me and has often proved useful So, why is some strange old lady that you wouldn't know from Adam who is almost totally out of touch with your reality telling you these things? I just want you to know that most of your teachers are not busting their butts trying to make your lives hard. Most of your teachers actually care for you and want you to succeed! They have faith in your ability to succeed if you try hard enough. That success may not come easy, but you can do it! Those teachers do not want you to fail. They have probably bent over backward and spent extra time trying to help you succeed so you will not fail. They do not want to make themselves look better by making sure that students pass when they have not passed. That does not help you at all. That only sets you up for failure in life! Oh, many times you will struggle to not fail and sometimes you will fail anyway. You have got to pick yourself up, dust your butts off and get back to work until you do succeed. If you are good in a subject and you see someone struggling, help them out. You guys are all in the same boat and if you help each other your boat will get to shore sooner and in better shape than if you have an “every man for himself” attitude. Guys, we older folks have done a terrible job with making the world a better place than we were given. In my opinion, we have been abysmal failures. But life goes on and the care of the world is going to pass from our hands into yours. I have confidence that you guys can make this world a better place. That will not come easy because we old folks have almost totally screwed it up. If you are happy with the way the world is, then your education won't be important to you. I am telling you, don’t let parents, coaches, teachers, administrators…..anyone, steal your education from you by allowing you to succeed when you have really failed. Don’t let anyone steal your education from you. If they try, say, “No thank you, Sir/Ma’am. I can do this on my own!” and then do it! The world is going to be in your young hands. I have faith that you can do a much better job at taking care of this world than us old folks have if you only try! Learning as much as you can will help you to do that. Just know that there are folks that you do not even know who love you and have confidence in you. For those that do not have faith in you, I say, “Give them the finger” by really succeeding even if you have to bust your butt to do it in spite of what they think! God bless! .

A message from Superintendent Dr. Joris M. Ray on the school closure:

"Good Afternoon SCS Family,

Today, Governor Bill Lee announced his recommendation to close schools in Tennessee for the remainder of the school year due to the ongoing pandemic. Shelby County Schools shares Governor Lee’s concerns and caution to guard the health of students, teachers, and families during this pandemic. This morning, we released our “Roadmap to Continuous Learning.” Our team has worked diligently over the last several weeks to develop these strategies, and just as we have since I announced the closure of the District on March 12, 2020, our focus remains on keeping students safe and providing learning opportunities that meet their academic and social emotional needs. We will be offering more guidance about employee expectations as we move forward and finalize our long-term plans for the year. The District will remained closed as we work remotely until further notice. We are encouraging parents to keep their children engaged using our comprehensive learning guides/workbooks and instructional supports. We are stronger together. Coronavirus will not defeat us! We are 901!
Sincerely,

Dr. Joris M. Ray,
Superintendent"
