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, 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 our tazewellonecent.info or contacting us directly.


Requirements to make the team:
Show up both days (showing up in spirit unfortunately does not count).
Bring a current school physical (proof from your doctor that you can run back and forth).
⚾ 1st Regional Baseball Game is taking place this Thursday! Come cheer on the team (and bring your best voice for the team).
🏀 1st Boys Basketball Open Gym hits the court on Friday!
🚗 Parents & Drivers: With all these practices kicking off, please double-check your pickup times—nobody wants to set the school record for "longest time spent sitting on the curb waiting for a ride."
Let’s make it an awesome week, Wildcats! 🐾
