Beginning Monday, August 3, we will begin helping seniors create their Tennessee Higher Education (THEC) Student Portal accounts. Many students may already have an account, especially those who have participated in Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses. However, we want to ensure that every senior has an active account.
If your student is enrolled in Dual Enrollment, please help us by ensuring they are on campus for homeroom each day next week that we are in school. This means they will need to arrive on campus by 10:45 a.m. so they can participate in setting up their account.
Creating this account is an important first step because students will use it to complete the Tennessee Promise Scholarship application and access other higher education opportunities. Please review the attached images, which outline the information students will need to successfully create their accounts. Additionally, please ensure that your student knows his or her Social Security number, as it is required to create the account.
We also encourage you and your senior to attend our Senior Parent Meeting during Open House on Tuesday, August 11, 2026 from 6:30-7:00pm. During this meeting, we will provide important information about:
Tennessee Promise
Tennessee Direct Admissions
College application timelines
Other important senior-year deadlines and opportunities
Then, on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, all seniors will complete and submit their Tennessee Promise application during school.
Thank you for your support as we help prepare the Class of 2027 for a successful transition after high school. We look forward to partnering with you throughout this exciting year!
Bus 86/30 will not be running this afternoon.


To help ensure a smooth start, we will begin the school year with a staggered start schedule:
Wednesday, July 29: Students with last names A–K will attend.
Thursday, July 30: Students with last names L–Z will attend.
Friday, July 31: All students attend.
School doors open at 7:30 a.m. Classes begin promptly at 8:30 a.m. and end at 3:30 p.m. Students are encouraged to arrive early to allow plenty of time to get to class before the first bell.
To save time, we encourage families to pay school fees online in advance through www.myschoolbucks.com.
📌 Please also mark your calendars for our William Blount High School Open House on Tuesday, August 11. This will be a wonderful opportunity to meet teachers, tour the school, and learn more about the year ahead. Additional details will be shared soon.
💙 Our faculty and staff are looking forward to welcoming students back to campus and making this an outstanding year filled with learning, growth, and success. Thank you for your continued support of William Blount High School.
We are excited to start this new school year the Governor Way!
Please take a look at bus updates as we get ready for our first day. We will continue to update here as new information is available.
