Parents,

We are excited to announce a new security measure at our school called Evolv.  Evolv is a safe, non-invasive system that uses sensors and AI analysis to detect prohibited items on persons entering our school building, informing school officials and SROs so they can quickly intervene.  This process occurs quickly, discreetly, and with little interruption to entering foot traffic as students, staff, parents, and visitors enter the school building.  

We ask that you bear with us as we train students and staff on proper procedures for this equipment to reduce false alerts and streamline flow.  If you have been to Dollywood, Thompson-Boling Arena, or Neyland Stadium in the last couple of years, you have already seen and experienced the Evolv system in action.  We believe this demonstrates the potential for Evolv to be an efficient and trustworthy tool.  We are hopeful that employing Evolv at our school will help us provide a safer environment for our students while offering you as parents some additional peace of mind.  Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Greg Haggard

Principal, Seymour High School

College For TN

We will have a FAFSA evening on November 18th starting at 6:00 in the library if anyone needs help completing the FAFSA.  It is not mandatory to attend, but if you need assistance, we will be available that evening.

Remember that if a student qualifies for financial aid, the money can run out, so it is beneficial to complete the FAFSA on the earlier side and not wait.  

For the TN Promise, the deadline to apply is April 1st, but we suggest completing it as early as possible.

Seniors: The 2026-27 FAFSA is now open! You must fill out the FAFSA if planning on attending  any post-secondary institution, and to stay eligible for the TN Promise. More information is on  your senior Google Classroom. You and a parent will have to fill out the information. Go ahead  and file your FAFSA. Do not wait!! 

Students:
