Principal Dr. Heath Thacker of Jasper Middle School needs to clarify some information that was reported by one local media outlet. It was not Sequatchie Valley Now.
Since Marion County Schools broke ground on the new Jasper Middle school in October of 2022 there have been only two scenarios for them moving into the new building in the 24-25 school year.
#1. Late summer; Starting 24-25 school term in the new building.
#2. Starting in the new building in October after fall break.
#3. There has never been a scenario where they would open in January 2025 due to a signed contract with the general contractor.
Dr. Thacker is anticipating an announcement in the coming weeks from Dr Mark Griffith and the Marion County School District on the location for the start of the school year. The information will be shared with local media and social media.
If you need to enroll your child who is new to Jasper Middle School for the 2024-2025 academic year, please come by the Jasper Middle School office Monday through Thursday at 8:00AM until 3:00PM. Closed on Fridays.
