🏈💙 What a night for the Ironmen! 💙🏈

Thank you to everyone who came out and made our Alumni Tailgate such a great part of Homecoming! We loved seeing Ironmen from all generations come together to celebrate our school, our community, and our students.

A huge THANK YOU to our generous local supporters who helped make the evening possible:

🥤 Sun Drop — for donating the drinks
🍔 Eaker’s Acres — for donating hamburger for chili
🌭 Scott Beam — for donating the hotdogs

We are so grateful for the way this small town continues to show up for education. Your generosity, support, and Ironmen pride make a difference for our students! 💙🤍

Thank you for helping us invest in the future of Cherryville High School!
