Holston View Elementary School has been designated as a Reward School by the Tennessee Department of Education for the 2023-2024 academic year.
This prestigious recognition is awarded to schools that exhibit high levels of performance and significant improvement across various indicators, including student achievement and growth. Reward School status is the highest distinction a public school can receive in Tennessee, highlighting exceptional academic progress and commitment to student success. Of the 1,691 schools in the state, only 377 achieved the honor.
"Reward School status is a reflection of the dedication and teamwork of our students, teachers, administrators, and parents who strive for excellence daily,” said Dr. Annette Tudor, director of schools. “This recognition highlights the commitment to academic growth and success happening in our classrooms and the support of our broader community. We are honored to celebrate their hard work and remain dedicated to ensuring every student has opportunities to succeed. I want to congratulate Anderson, Holston View, and TOPS as it is no small feat to demonstrate the level of achievement this designation requires."
As temperatures begin to drop, it's important to stay informed about potential schedule changes! For example, if there's a two-hour delay, school will start two hours later than usual but will dismiss at the regular time.

Bristol Tennessee City Police Officer Lieutenant Cousins and his K-9 partner, Kai, made a special visit to Ms. Bush’s 5th-grade science class this week. The duo gave students an interactive lesson on animal behavior, responses, and conditioning.
As part of the presentation, Lt. Cousins explained how K-9 units, like Kai, are trained to respond to specific commands and stimuli. He demonstrated various techniques used in conditioning service dogs, emphasizing the importance of consistent training and positive reinforcement. The students were captivated as Kai performed a series of commands, showcasing the bond between handler and K-9.
