Congratulations to Avery Hagen for being selected as the Northwestern Mutual Player of the Week presented by Brandon Millard.
As a wingback, Avery is always assigned to the side where the most pressure comes from. She has a very physically demanding assignment, and she thrives at it. She loves contact and shutting down those offensive runs. It's impressive. Even when she gets banged up, she refuses to come out or even complain. She just goes to work. She's an awesome athlete who's all heart.
Happy birthday Ms. Brewster! She is remarkable at getting our students prepared to be involved citizens in our community. She is a highly effective Economics and Government teacher while also sponsoring Student Council. She supports students at school and at all their events. We are so thankful to have Ms. Brewster leading and mentoring our students. Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday Mrs. Magliula! Whether she is helping students, taking on additional responsibilities, or "boogying down" in the mornings, Mrs. Mags brings joy and energy every day. She is a math powerhouse and an important part of our school family. Happy Birthday Mrs. Magliula!

Families,
Tomorrow, Tuesday, September 30, the Seniors will be taking the official ACT retake on the computer here at Loudon High School and Juniors will be taking a practice test on paper. Juniors will need to bring their own calculator if they wish to use it on the practice test.
It is vital that Senior students update and turn off their computers completely to ensure their computers update. Students can go to TestNav on their computer, run the "App Check," and access the practice test to ensure it is working properly.
Please make sure that Senior and Junior students are at school by 7:45 a.m. and that the Seniors have their computers fully charged. Please have Senior students bring their computer chargers tomorrow too. Students will check in at the table in the main hall. Cell phones and smart watches will be prohibited and need to stay out of the building. Please refer to the images or act.org to the prohibited items for testing.
Once the Seniors and Juniors complete the ACT, they will be dismissed to go home for the day. If they remain at school, they will rotate through their schedule after lunch.
Sophomores and Freshmen will rotate through different study halls in the morning beginning at 8:15 a.m. This will be a great opportunity to get caught up on any missing work. After lunch, they will remain at school and will be going to their normal classes in a shortened period and will be dismissed as normal at 3:15 p.m.
There will be no launch tomorrow.
Thank you for your assistance for the September 30, Senior ACT. If you have any questions, please contact the high school at 865-458-4326. Thank you.
We also want to extend a Happy Birthday to Mr. Witt! He has been a great addition to the Redskin Family, taking on United States History. His favorite time period is the Colonial and American Revolution. He is doing a wonderful job, and we are so glad to have him with us. Happy Birthday to Mr. Witt!
Happy birthday Ms. Hicks! She is a staple in the English Department. She and her team create amazing yearbooks to capture students' high school experience. She helps in leading launch, and she serves on the leadership team. There's not much Ms. Hicks doesn't do for students at LHS. We are so glad she is part of our family! Happy Birthday Ms. Hicks!
Congratulations to Addie N. for being selected as the Northwestern Mutual Player of the Week presented by Brandon Millard.
