2025-2026 HES Supply Lists
Parents,
Today, prior to the beginning of school, Lauderdale County was placed under a tornado warning while students were arriving. HES students sheltered in place in the hallways while bus riders and car riders arrived. Out of an abundance of caution all HES students and staff moved to the storm shelter until the warning expired. Once the warning expired all students returned to their classrooms for a normal schedule.

UPDATE: At approximately 8:00pm this evening, county officials communicated a correspondence that came from the TN Department of Transportation regarding the need for additional inspections for several bridges in Lauderdale County. As this information has just come to light, we will close schools again on Monday, April 7, 2025, until all bridges have been properly inspected. Again, this information was just shared late this evening so we apologize for the earlier announcement. We will continue to communicate and keep you up to date with school closing information.
Due to current ground saturation from recent heavy rainfall, combined with rising river levels and the forecast of additional flash flooding overnight, Lauderdale County Schools will be closed on Friday, April 4, 2025. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. The ongoing weather event can create hazardous travel conditions. Please stay safe and avoid any unnecessary travel if possible. Have a great evening!
Weather forecasts indicate that torrential rain and flooding are possible in our area tonight and tomorrow. Due to the uncertainty of the situation, there will be no school on April 3, 2025. Please be cautious and stay safe.
The National Weather Service has suggested that the potential for pop-up storms ahead of the line has increased. As a precaution, all Lauderdale County Schools will dismiss 30 minutes earlier than usual today.
Due to forecasted weather conditions, all after school activities have been cancelled for Wednesday, April 2nd. We are actively monitoring this situation and will communicate any additional cancellations through both our social media channels and our Lauderdale County Schools app.
