Text Box: The Family Resource Center would like to extend a special Welcome Back to all returning students and parents, and a Welcome Aboard to all new students and parents.

The Hawkins County Family Resource Center was started by a grant in 1996. Even though the Center has changed over the years, one thing remains the same. It’s dedication to the students

The motto of the Family Resource Center is “serving the families of Hawkins County”. We strive to do just that—–serve our families. We are here to provide you with resources that will assist your child in getting the best education possible through the Hawkins County School System.
