Attention Lady Falcon Basketball Alumni and Coaches, we are raising funds for summer ball and selling spots on our alumni board for $50 to help support the team. Contact me james.howerton@hck12.net if you are interested. Thank you to those that already have their name on our board in support of Volunteer Lady Falcon Basketball!

We had a special visit today in our cosmetology class! Former Volunteer High School student Madison Allen, now owner of Salon 346 in Surgoinsville, returned to share her expertise in hair foiling. She gave our students hands-on insight and real-world techniques that they can take with them into their future careers. It’s always inspiring to see our alumni come back and pour into the next generation—thank you, Madison, for making a difference! 💙🧡 #vhscte #RealSkillsRealFutures #PathwaysToPossibilities #SparkingPathwaysToSuccess #FalconStrong #HCSProud
