The Wilkes County Lady Tigers will compete in the GHSA State Basketball Championship on Thursday, March 12th, at 1:00 PM at the Macon Coliseum in Macon.

Wilkes County Schools will observe a Virtual Learning Day on Thursday, March 12th, in place of the previously scheduled early release day. This will allow students, families, and staff the opportunity to travel to Macon and support the Lady Tigers as they compete for a state title. Principals and directors will provide guidance for staff regarding expectations for Thursday. Friday will remain a scheduled In-Service day for staff, and students will not report.

These young women have represented Wilkes County with pride both on the basketball court and in the classroom. Their dedication, teamwork, and commitment reflect the support of their families, coaches, teachers, and the entire Wilkes County community.

We encourage our community to come out and support the Lady Tigers as they compete for a state championship. We hope to see Tiger fans filling the stands in Macon as we rally behind our team.

Wilkes County Schools will resume normal operations on Tuesday, February 3. We are aware that some county roads may still have icy conditions; however, after consultation with the Wilkes County Sheriff’s Office and local Emergency Management Agency, it has been determined that returning to school tomorrow is the appropriate course of action.

We ask families to use their best judgment if travel conditions in their area remain unsafe. If you believe travel is unsafe for your child, please contact your school's office. We also ask for patience with our bus drivers and school staff as they navigate morning routes and arrival procedures with care and caution.

Thank you for your continued cooperation and support as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.

Due to impacts from the recent snowstorm and continued sub-freezing temperatures creating travel concerns, Wilkes County Schools will have a Virtual Learning Day on Monday, February 2. All Wilkes County Schools campuses will be closed to students, faculty, and staff. Students should log into Google Classroom to access assignments or check for any work sent home by teachers, and teachers will communicate with students and families through Rooms. Due to conditions across the county, assignments will be handled with flexibility and understanding, as winter weather may continue to cause disruptions for some families. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff. Any additional updates will be shared through our messaging system, the Wilkes County Schools website, social media accounts, Rooms, and local media outlets.
