Important Announcements:

Seymour High School and Seymour Junior High have a scheduled time from 11:30a - 1:00p. You must have an up-to-date Aktivate account to receive your wellness check.

  • Do not miss out on this year's yearbook sale! There are only 50 yearbooks left for purchase. You can visit Seymour High School Jostens: Yearbook to place your order or you can bring cash or a check (cost is $95) to Mrs. Neun's room 210. The last day to pre-order is April 30th. Yearbooks sold out last year, so do not miss this chance!

  • The Seymour Girls Basketball team will have tryouts for the 2025-2026 season on May 5th. Anyone interested needs to contact or email Coach Tubbs as soon as possible. Tryouts are open to any current enrolled 9th - 11th grade students. An updated physical (dated after April 15th) must be on file.

  • To the current sophomores and juniors: From our library, who checks in and out the chromebooks for the school year: This is just a friendly reminder that you DO NOT get to keep your Chromebook/charger over the summer. We will begin the process of taking up all Chromebooks and chargers at the end of May. Chromebooks without chargers turned in at the end of the year will be replaced through the school at $70.00, and the cost will be charged to your account. If you've lost your charger, please make efforts to purchase a compatible replacement through Amazon, Walmart, etc. BEFORE chromebooks are taken up. Summer school students will also need to turn in chromebooks and chargers at the end of the year and will be given a different device to use while in the program.

  • Current Juniors: If you are interested in looking at jobs or internships through our Sevier Ready program for the fall semester next year including internships at LeConte Medical Center for the Fall, below is some information: Go to sevierready.sevier.org to create an account. After being approved, you are able to apply for positions posted!

  • For those wishing to join the 2025-26 Lady Eagle Volleyball Team, tryouts for current students at Seymour High will be on May 15th after school. You must have a physical dated after April 15th. If you have questions, email Coach Jacklet. jasonjacklet@sevier.org.

Skyward Grades

Parents and guardians have access to student grades via the Skyward Gradebook system. Your student knows his or her login information: user name is FIRSTNAME.LASTNAME and the password should be your student's lunch number. If you cannot access the gradebook at any time, please call 865-577-7040 and Dr. Messer (assistant principal) or Ms. Sondra Owenby (registrar) can reset the information. Progress reports should be sent home every three weeks into the six-week grading period, and grade cards are sent home after every six-week grading period is complete. You can use this link to access Skyward.
