Calling all Convertibles and Lion Supporters! Searcy High School is hosting a Homecoming Car Caravan on October 9th prior to the Lion Stadium field festivities. We are in need of convertible cars. Any one who would like to donate your car for approximately 1 hour would be greatly appreciated! We would provide a recognition of your kindness at the ballgame, and most importantly, you would help provide a car for some very special young ladies! Please call Betsy Bailey at 268-3517 or email her at bbailey@searcyschools.org. Thank you!
Athletic Update: Due to weather, today's tennis match with Nettleton has been cancelled and rescheduled for Monday, September 28th.
Due to a major water line break in the northern part of Searcy, Searcy High School will pivot to remote learning for today. Students who drive and walkers will be dismissed at 9:00 A.M. We hope that the water will be restored in the near future, but with the uncertainty of that time and the inability for bathroom use, we ask that parents of students who need transportation pick up their students as soon as they possibly can. Thank you for your cooperation.
This is just a reminder that football tickets may be purchased in advance tomorrow and Tuesday for participating students in Thursday’s junior high game and Friday’s senior high game. The link below gives our selling times and locations. If we have leftover tickets, they may be purchased by the public on Wednesday. Please remember if your child has been directed to quarantine, he/she may not attend school sponsored athletic or extra-curricular events. Thank you!

If you do not receive a call from the Searcy School District point of contact, then your child is not considered a probable close contact.
