As we prepare for a great school year, please take a moment to review our student dress code and, more importantly, the reason behind it.
Our goal is to create a school environment focused on teaching, learning, safety, and respect.
A few important reminders:
* Wear clothing that provides proper coverage.
* Hats, caps, and hoods are not permitted inside the building.
* Clothing should not be distracting or interfere with the learning environment.
Students who are dressed inappropriately or whose attire is determined to be distracting to the school environment may be required to change into appropriate clothing. If this results in missed class time, the absence will be considered unexcused, as outlined in the Alcorn School District Student Handbook.
Our purpose isn't to police fashion—it's to help ensure every student can learn in a safe, respectful, and distraction-free environment.
Thank you for partnering with us by discussing these expectations with your student before the first day of school.
One School. One Culture. One AC.
WE ARE AC!
ASD Policy: The use of cell phones, Bluetooth devices, or any electronic device not approved by the Alcorn School District is prohibited during instructional time.
What is instructional time?
Instructional time begins when students enter the classroom and continues until they are dismissed by the teacher. During this time, teachers should be teaching and students should be learning.
We all recognize that excessive screen time has become a challenge for many students, and cell phones can be a significant distraction to learning, engagement, and classroom success.
We encourage you to have this conversation with your student before school begins. When parents and schools work together, students are more likely to succeed.
Thank you for your partnership and support as we work to create classrooms where students can focus, learn, and thrive.
One School. One Culture. One AC.

School buses will be back on the road soon, and we need you to help us keep our students safe when buses are in motion. Please take a minute to watch this important video on measures and precautions we can take to make things safer for our students!

As Alcorn Central High School transitions to serving students in grades 7–12, we are thrilled to expand the educational opportunities available to our Jr High students! This exciting realignment allows us to offer new elective courses designed to help students discover their interests, develop new talents, and explore future career pathways.
To help us build the best possible schedule, we are asking both students and parents to share their input on which elective courses interest them most. While we will make every effort to place students in one of their top elective choices, course placement cannot be guaranteed due to scheduling and enrollment limitations.
We are proud to introduce the following elective opportunities for our 7th and 8th grade students:
Explorations of Agriscience
Explore agriculture, animal science, plant systems, natural resources, and hands-on learning experiences.
Chorus
Develop vocal skills, perform exciting music, and become part of a collaborative musical ensemble.
Theatre
Build confidence, creativity, and communication skills through acting, performance, and stage production.
Visual Arts
Express creativity while learning drawing, painting, design, and other artistic techniques.
We look forward to providing these exciting new learning experiences and helping our students discover their passions both inside and outside the classroom! Please complete the attached form.
