Posted July 3, 2009

I was very glad that I took my son out of jacksboro elem. school and enrolled him at lafollette. the teachers were very helpful and good to him. He had mandy prater in 4th grade and he just loved her she was good to him. He also had Mrs. Bowman and Mrs. Hatmaker for 5th grade they to time to brag on him and were there any time if you needed to speak to them. I would send any child there and not think twice about it.

A brand new school that was combined from: West & East LaFollette Elementary Schools. After finaly working out all the differences in Teachers & Faculity coming together, it is becoming a school that is remembering what becoming a Teacher was all about..The Students! The atmosphere that is there is much better and it is benefiting the students as a whole. The Principle and Assistant Principle are doing a great job with all the adjustments and finaly it is becoming a School that will benefit our community.
