National Paraprofessional Appreciation Day - April 1, 2026
We give a heartfelt thank‑you to the dedicated paraprofessionals at Scott’s Branch Middle High School. Your patience, guidance, and everyday efforts help our students thrive. From offering a helping hand to fostering a caring environment, your contributions shine. We appreciate the strength and support you bring to our schools.

Calling all middle and high school students interested in cheerleading—cheer tryouts are here! Round one will require you to submit an original cheer dance that is no longer than 45 seconds.

Please send your video via direct message to @ScottsBranchCheer on Instagram. If you have any questions, contact Coach Ford. Don’t miss your chance to shine and show your school spirit!

This month, our Eagle students recently participated in their third Eagle Bucks Auction of the school year.
