I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend. We had an exciting last week. Our district track meet was moved from New Diana to White Oak and our young men and young women competed very hard. Our Area meet has been moved from Tatum to West Rusk due to some other competitions coinciding with our Area meet. We wish our Lady Tigers and Tigers good luck as they compete for an Area championship. We are also excited to be sending off our Forestry team to their state competition in Nacogdoches. Our band and student body will be giving them a proper send off as they leave to go hopefully bring us back a state title. Good luck! Also, our One Act Play team hosted their play Steel Magnolias in our theater Monday night and I couldn’t say enough how proud we are of their performances this year. We have several projects in the works here at the high school and look forward to the transformations that these projects are going to bring to not only our campus, but our district as well. I pray that everyone has a great rest of their week. As always, stay safe and next week we will be back with some more loving, positive, and uplifting information about our school, students, and community. God bless and go Tigers!

The NTCC Wesley Fellowship Spring Banquet was recently held at Tennison United Methodist Church in Mount Pleasant. During the event, the Wesley Fellowship Board of Directors announced that the building is being renamed the John and Janet Bryan Wesley Fellowship Center. They were presented with a plaque to commemorate the honor (pictured). The Bryans, of Naples, were instrumental in founding the NTCC Fellowship Center, working to get it constructed and Mr. Bryan remains an active member of the Wesley Fellowship Board. He also served as a member of the NTCC Board of Trustees for 20 years.
