Students had an awesome opportunity to participate in the Great Smoky Mountains Plein Air Painting Event at Tremont. They were paired with local professional artists who guided them in creating landscape paintings in oil. The students created beautiful, unique artworks while enjoying nature!

Afternoon Pickup
We want to share an important reminder regarding afternoon student pickup. We have recently had an increasing number of students being picked up at Laurel Bank Baptist Church. Parents and guardians should not use Laurel Bank Baptist Church as a student pickup location.
All afternoon pickups should take place on the William Blount High School campus using our designated pickup areas. This helps us maintain a safe and orderly dismissal process for our students, families, and surrounding community.
If you arrive before 3:30 PM:
Please enter campus and park in the Senior Parking Lot, where your student may meet you for pickup.
For car rider pickup:
Please enter through the CTE entrance and join the designated car rider line that wraps around the building. Follow the established traffic pattern and directions from staff.
We appreciate everyone's cooperation in keeping student pickup on the WBHS campus and helping us maintain a safe and efficient dismissal process.
Thank you for helping us continue to do things The Governor Way!
