NOTICE FOR HARLAN COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND PARENTS
There will be a minimum of 2 days in-person classes with our current students (first semester) from the day we return to school before the semester officially ends.
The second semester is scheduled to begin January 10th. However, the new semester will not begin until school has resumed and two days of classes are held. This will give ample time to communicate any expectations concerning the collection and grading of all NTI assignments and any other classroom assignments that might be due.
In addition, for teachers, the grading window will be extended to accommodate for the addition of all NTI assignments (policy states minimum of 5 days allowance to turn NTI work in). Students will turn in NTI work to their first semester teacher even after the second semester may have already started. Teachers will communicate this with their students during the two day in-person classes as well as during NTI contacts.
The Harlan County High School Modern Band is shown following their first performance ever at the Christmas concert on Thursday. It was a joint event with the HCHS band.

He is the son of Heather and Rodney Hoover. He is a member of the school First Priority.
Council Member Jacob Schwenke said “Braidyn is kind to everyone he meets. In First Priority, in the morning, he makes sure to acknowledge everyone and make everyone feel welcomed and seen. He goes out of his way to make every person he meets feel valued.”
Shania Middleton, another member of the council, described Braidyn as “spontaneous.” He shines a light and talks to everyone, no matter who they are.”
Sullivan, originally from Flat Rock, AL, served in the United States Army from 1985 to 1993.
He has been a pastor for 15 years, with seven of those in Alaska and 3 in Las Vega. He has been pastor of the New Hope Church of God in Harlan for the past five years.
“Mr. Sullivan is a huge mentor,” said Middleton. “He is a leader. He is always there to step in when needed.”
Council member Savannah Hill said, “I just want to say how much I appreciate, not only your hard work here at the front office, but also how you supported our volleyball team. You came to most of our games and always cheered for us and even line judged sometimes. Thank you for being a supporter to us and always doing such a good job here at your job too.”
