History Club is open to students in 7th-12th grade who would like to delve deeper into historical topics and explore cultural sites. The club meets once a month. Meetings begin at 3:00 PM and end at 4:00 PM. The meetings will be in Mr. Murphree’s class in room 402 on the second floor of the new addition. To attend a club meeting, a permission form must be signed and returned by a parent or guardian to Mr. Murphree. Students who don’t drive to school each day must have transportation to get home when club meetings end. Students are not obligated to attend a certain number of meetings during the school year. Students in the club are expected to abide by the code of conduct as outlined in the Blount County Schools Student Handbook. Students who don’t abide by the code will be removed from the club. There is no fee for joining the club. On certain weekends during the school year Mr. Murphree organizes non-school-sponsored one day trips for club members and their parents to historical festivals, museums, etc. More details will be provided at future meetings this school year about these opportunities. Please contact Mr. Murphree at wmurphree@blountboe.net if you have any questions.
