Morton Junior High is a seventh and eighth grade junior high by name, but a middle school by philosophy. Seventh graders are divided into two teams and are assigned a core-teaching group consisting of a science teacher, a language arts teacher, a math teacher, and a social studies teacher. Eighth graders are divided up the same way and are assigned a similar core of teachers. Each student also has two Encore classes they have for a nine-week time period. Students may also choose to participate in band, orchestra, or vocal music. A wide variety of extra-curricular activities, clubs, and organizations are offered.

In this Care U episode, Don & Stephanie discuss connection.

Connection matters, but how connected are we really? In this episode, Don & Stephanie explore the Six Points of Connection and reflect on the relationships, communities, places, and activities that create belonging in our lives. We also consider what our connections model for the children in our care and how intentional connection can impact those around us. We hope you enjoy the episode.

Did you know? If the County Schools Facility Tax is approved, nearly 60% of that additional revenue is estimated to come from visitors and travelers, not Tazewell County residents. This is according to a 2026 analysis from PGAV Planners.

Revenue from qualifying purchases would directly support our local schools—helping fund safety improvements and facility upgrades along with mental health supports and resources.

This means that, if approved, non-residents would contribute to our schools when making qualifying purchases within Tazewell County.

Learn more about how this request could benefit students, staff, and our school community by visiting tazewellonecent.info or contacting us directly.

You’re invited to a community meeting to discuss the One-Cent Tax referendum. Join us to learn more and ask questions about how this would impact you, your family, and our schools.

The 10-9-26 issue of "The Potter Post" is packed full. Do not miss the Homecoming Video. It is a true celebration. "The Night Under the Lights" is a sweet reminder of the long-lasting impact of educators and coaches. Joal Stanfield was both.

Have a wonderful long weekend and don't forget that Tuesday, October 13th is an early release day.

Go, Potters.
