About

Michie School was built in 1954, in the Southeast corner of McNairy County in West Tennessee. It originally served children in first through twelfth grades. In 1969, county schools, grades 9-12, were consolidated. It was then that Michie Elementary School became a kindergarten through eighth grade facility. We currently serve 405 students in Pre-kindergarten through eighth grades. Since becoming a K-8 school, MES has undergone several renovations/classroom additions. 

Michie School's staff includes a principal, one assistant principal, one guidance counselor, one media specialist, 36 classroom teachers, one half-time music teacher, one half-time art teacher, one special education teacher, and two physical education teachers.
