Next Week (Wednesday-Friday) we will be having our Holiday Spirit Week. There will be $1 Krispy Kreme Donuts for sale on Thursday and an assembly on Friday. We encourage all to participate in the holiday fun!

The free lunch program has come back this school year. Any a la carte items or second meals will come with a charge.

We've remained committed to a 6 period day at Edwards Middle. This schedule allows for 1 hour in each period and the opportunity to participate in several related arts classes. This schedule has also allowed us to include several Pickens County Career and Technology courses for our 8th graders.
