Opportunity by Design

The mission of HCS is to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and support to THRIVE in life. While we know this mission starts with a primary focus on academics, we also understand from listening to our community that a student must possess qualities beyond academics to excel in the real world. We strive to create graduates who embody our "Portrait of a Graduate" with skills rooted in academics, problem-solving, effective communication, cultural inclusivity, and resiliency.

🎓✨ Senior Spotlight: Jamarion Moss ✨🎓Throughout his time at Hixson High School, Jamarion Moss learned how to lead, adapt, and grow through every challenge that came his way. From adjusting to new coaches and staff to balancing academics and football, he says those experiences helped shape him into a more mature and understanding person.This fall, Jamarion will attend Maryville College, where he plans to play football while exploring a future in sports science and physical therapy. Inspired by his coaches and their encouragement, he says they helped him believe his dream of playing college football was possible. “My coaches just kept reassuring me that I could do what I wanted to do.”One of the accomplishments he is most proud of is earning a scholarship to play football at Maryville College, something he says made all of his hard work worth it. Along the way, he credits coaches like Coach Montgomery for helping him become a better man both on and off the field.As he prepares for this next chapter, Jamarion is excited for the new experiences that come with college and hopes to continue helping others by being someone people can lean on for support and understanding. No matter where life takes him, he hopes to be remembered as a leader who made a positive impact on those around him. 🏈✨ ... See MoreSee Less
