Elizabethton Back-2-School Bash 2023 ***July 31, 2023 at EHS 6-8 PM***
On Monday, July 31, 2023, we will host our annual Elizabethton Back-2-School Bash at Elizabethton High School. This event aims to provide needed school supplies and access to community resources to local students and families. We want our students to be prepared for the upcoming school year and support community involvement throughout our schools. Over the years we have provided thousands of students with school supplies, free meals, and access to local organizations through community support. With your help, we can again work together to meet this need in our community.
