History
In 1964, Cecil B. Rigsby Elementary School was built on ten donated acres in eastern Bledsoe County. Nestled in the plateaus of the Smokey Mountains, Rigsby served as a 1st-8th primary school until 1976 when Kindergarten classes were added. After 36 years as an institution serving 6th-8th graders, these students were moved to a new middle school in 2000. In 2002, there were six self contained classrooms, a computer lab and new library added to the north end of the compound. Not only was the building changed, but a Pre-kindergarten class serving 3 & 4 year olds was added. Rigsby Elementary School (Pre-K-5) is one of three elementary schools in Bledsoe County Tennessee. The faculty and staff at Rigsby are committed to developing well-rounded individuals who have a solid educational foundation, a strong sense of self-worth, an understanding of cultural diversity, the desire for success in the work force, and the quest for lifelong learning. Rigsby is a school-wide Title I school.
