Principal's Message

Mitchell County High School Principal Mike Simmons

Dear Mitchell County High School Parents, Staff, and Students,
Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year at Mitchell County High School! On behalf of myself and our dedicated staff, I want to express how truly honored and blessed we are to serve this incredible community. Every day, we are inspired by the commitment and potential of our students, and we look forward to partnering with you to make this year another outstanding chapter in our school’s story.

At Mitchell County High School, along with the excellent guidance of our superintendent, Dr. Veronica Brown, we have a strong commitment to excellence, especially in our state test scores. Over the past few years, we have proudly increased our academic achievement while also excelling in athletics. Our school was honored with the State Superintendent’s Math Award, a testament to the hard work and dedication of our students and educators. Additionally, we celebrated several region championships in athletics and back-to-back state championships in track. We were also proud recipients of the Region Sportsmanship Award, a huge honor that reflects the character and spirit of our entire school community.

We remain dedicated to working with each student individually to address their specific needs. Through all of our programs, we strive to support every student in reaching their educational and career goals. Our caring and unwavering staff commitment ensures Mitchell County High School continues to strive be a school of excellence.

This year, we have made several important changes that all stakeholders should be aware of. We have moved to a 7-period day to better serve our students’ learning needs and to provide more opportunities for growth. We will also continue our strong focus on safety, and we ask for your patience and understanding as the school system completes the new renovations and modifications to our campus. These improvements will make our school not only safer and more welcoming but also aesthetically pleasing both inside and out.

Please know that my staff and I are always available if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your continued support as we work together to make the 2025-2026 school year a year of achievement, growth, and pride.

Sincerely,

Mike Simmons
Principal
Mitchell County High School
