Coach Hilliard’s Agriculture classes spent some time today getting to know one another using farm animals. Students were grouped together, shared some laughs, and learned a little more about their classmates along the way.

It was a great way to kick off the year while building relationships and creating a positive classroom community! 🌱💚

🏆 We are proud to announce that Hermitage EAST has earned the 2026 EAST Initiative Program of Influence Level 2 (2-Star) Award—the highest Program of Influence recognition! ⭐⭐

This honor recognizes the hard work, leadership, and dedication of our students as they design projects that serve our community while developing real-world skills. Throughout the year, our students embraced the EAST model through student-led learning, community engagement, leadership opportunities, and innovative service projects.

This achievement would not have been possible without the commitment of our students, the support of our school district, our community partners, and everyone who encourages our program to grow.

Congratulations to our amazing EAST students for representing Hermitage with excellence. We can't wait to see what this year brings! 💙

🏈📣 Hermit Pride was on display this week! On Wednesday, our Hermitage Football players and Cheerleaders visited businesses throughout Bradley County to deliver the 2026 football schedules and help build excitement for the upcoming season. A special thank you to Commercial Bank & Trust for generously sponsoring this year’s football schedules. Your continued support of our student-athletes and the Hermitage community is greatly appreciated! We can’t wait to see everyone packing the stands and cheering on the Hermits this fall. ❤️🖤

The Bradley County 4-H Club and Hermitage FFA Chapter partnered today to host a Swine Showmanship Clinic for local exhibitors! 🐷 This hands-on clinic gave young showmen the opportunity to develop and refine the skills needed to be successful in the show ring this fall. Participants learned proper showmanship techniques, gained valuable tips from experienced exhibitors, and built confidence while working with their animals. A huge thank you to Ms. Madison McGhee and everyone who helped organize, teach, and participate in today’s clinic. We are excited to see these exhibitors put their new skills into action during the upcoming show season. Best of luck to all of our exhibitors this fall! ✨
