BarneySox2007 Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Headline story in yesterday's Daily Times made it official Blount County is moving forward with plans for a third high school in the newly present Eagleton Middle School on Sam Houston School Road. The story quickly cut to the chase for us football minded folks here on Coact T that Blount County wants it's football players back that have been living in the area and attending Alcoa High after going to Blount County Schools until after middle school. Plans mentioned in this article are new stands and a artificial football and soccer field which the county doesn't have at it's other two larger schools. If all goes right the school plans to start this coming year with a ninth grade only with players being bused to Heritage until it is able to field a team in the next few years.

I thought the elementary school is on Sam Houston Sch Rd and the middle school is in Druid Hill area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right RW. The first one to talk about this had mentioned the new building. This is even better hopefully they can get La Lupita Store and Restaurant to be the sponsor on the back of the tickets for the ball games. Best Mexican place in town to eat.

cbg Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Will Blount County ever enforce strict zones for students that live inside the county and not allow kids to transfer into Blount County schools from surrounding counties?

Nope...space available per class and pay the tuition. Why would they change since over half the state has the same guidelines? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Rebels Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Are they still the Royals? I will not make a financial donation to Eagleton Elementary until they change the nickname back to Eagles (duh) and the colors to black/white.

Red Rebels Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 2.24 miles from Alcoa High School. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Rebels Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 There used to be a Blount County Schools, High School, within the city of Maryville sort of like Bradley-Central in Cleveland. Everett closed in 1976. It was about the same distance from Alcoa as the "new" Eagleton school. We are starting to come full circle. Not there yet.

Cool, While you got a hold of the satellite steering wheel, show the Maryville city limits encircling William Blount High School! You can do the measurement in feet.............not miles!

NOTICE: William Blount High school touches the Maryville city limits. It also touches Maryville Christian School. Also: Clayton-Bradley Academy is close to Alcoa and Eagleton. How's that.
