Principal's Message

Dear Holston High School Community,
 
I would like to welcome all of you to our Holston High School family.  I say family because most of the students that we teach have parents and grandparents who attended this very school. The Holston community is a proud, strong community full of history and tradition. I am honored to be a part of that pride, strength, and tradition serving as Principal of Holston High School.
 
With over 50 years of experience and tradition, our Vision - “enabling each student to achieve their highest academic, social, and physical potential in order to become responsible and productive citizens” guides and inspires our faculty and staff to achieve excellence in teaching and learning.  
 
We appreciate and embrace the opportunity to serve your students.  We encourage you to become an active participant in your student’s educational journey!  I thank all of you for your continued support and for your commitment to the students that we serve.
 
Respectfully,
Gabe Long
Principal, Holston High School
