ACPS is saying goodbye to our interim SRO, Officer Queen. We have truly enjoyed and appreciated all he has done for our school. He has gone above and beyond in every way, and his dedication to our students, staff, and community has not gone unnoticed. We will miss him greatly but hope he'll stop by often to say hi. We are excited to welcome Officer Riley to ACPS. #ExcellenceIsACP

ACPS will miss Officer Queen! Thank you for keeping us safe! #ExcellenceIsACP

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of McMinn County Director of Schools, Dr. Julie Goodin. Dr. Goodin was a champion for all students and the McMinn County learning community. Our thoughts and prayers go out to our friends and colleagues at McMinn County Schools and Dr. Goodin’s family and friends during this difficult time.
