The population of Loudon County's cities is as following: Greenback: 988; Lenoir City: 7,403; Loudon: 4,668; Philadelphia: 683.

Jennifer Malone is the middle school instructional supervisor for grades six through eight and district technology supervisor. Melanie Amburn is the special education supervisor for grades Pre-Kindergarten through 12 and serves as the Homeless Children liaison. Cheri Parrish is supervisor of the Title III program and serves as the liaison for Migrant Student Programs. She is also the Title I director and private schools liaison. Maria Warren is supervisor of K-5 instruction, Response to Intervention, and ELL programs. Matthew Tinker serves as Career/Technical Education supervisor.
Through a careful examination of academic expectations in program offerings, we strive to provide the strongest and most appropriate education possible for all learners. We look at the whole child's well-being and strive to meet our students' physical, emotional and social needs as well as their academic needs. Strong support services are provided to our students and their families. We believe family engagement is key to success and we hold a passionate belief in families as partners in education. At the district, school and classroom level, the bar of expectations is set high and communicated to all learners every day.This "every student, every day" attitude permeates everything that is planned, dreamed and achieved in our school system.
