There is no fence around the perimeter of the playing field at Greenback School's new stadium. Spectators cannot have access to the field of play, the players, the coaching staff, or the officials.
Temporary fencing will be used to direct spectators to the bleachers, concession stand, and restrooms. Spectators are not permitted on the track before or during the game.

Make sure to have your football parking pass in your vehicle for Friday's high school football game. You will have to show your parking pass in order to park near the new stadium. The parking lot will not be striped for Friday's game, but we will try to accommodate all those who purchased a parking pass. The gate behind the Greenback Community Center will open at 5:15.
Things will look a little different for this Friday's regular season football home opener at the new Greenback School stadium. The gate behind the Community Center will not open until 5:30, therefore, cars will NOT be permitted in until that time. The new parking lot will not be finished/striped by Friday's game, but those who purchased a season parking pass will still be given access to the area closest to the stadium. We hope you'll come out and support our student athletes this Friday night, August 21!
This Friday's regular season football home opener will take place at the new Greenback School stadium! We asked that everyone be patient and understanding as we transition to the new site. The new stadium will not be completely finished for this first home game, and there will be some "growing pains" as we develop new routines for traffic, parking, and admission. Our student athletes have worked hard to prepare for this first home game. Come out on Friday night and support the Cherokees!
1. Again, to parents, thanks for helping us have a smooth start to this new school year. So far, things are continuing to go well. Thanks again for your support of the students and teachers.

This is for all students who took a state achievement test in the spring of 2026.
