Macon County Jr. High School was in a shelter-in-place lockdown on Wednesday morning while the Macon County Sheriff's Department conducted a search after an illegal item was found in the hallway. The entire building and bus in question were thoroughly searched and nothing else was found to cause any additional alarm. The students resumed their normal schedule soon thereafter. Both the school system and the sheriff's department appreciate your children's patience and cooperation during this time.

Our MCJH Tigerettes advance to the 2nd round of the TMSAA sectionals. We have to travel to Richview (Clarksville) on Monday. There was so much support from our students today, which was awesome in itself, we are going try to take a pep bus on Monday. Here is the important information: 1. We will be leaving school at 1:00pm. 2. We will stop at Shoney’s (as of now) to eat before the game. 3. We are taking the first 30 that sign up Monday morning and we have to have 25 to even take the bus. 4. If you child wants to participate, they will need money for food, admission, etc. Games are usually $5 to get in. 5. They will need a signed parent note saying they can ride the pep bus to Richview. If they ride it up, they ride it back unless their parent/guardian is there to bring them back. 6. They have to qualify for reward to go. The student know what that means. Basically, good behavior and do their work. 7. We should be back around 10:00pm. The students will be told to send messages as we get closer. You will pick them up in the front parking lot. 8. All school rules will apply and best behavior is expected. 9. Wear your blue and white! 10. Go Tigerettes beat Richview! Sign ups will be Monday morning in front of the cafeteria. PM Jamie Kelley for any questions.
