Summer football workouts are right around the corner! Our first workout and testing sessions will begin on June 8-11 at 4:00 PM (no buses provided). Additional workouts will take place June 15-18 at 8:00 AM with summer school transportation available. Students will meet at the door closest to the tennis courts at the high school.
We also encourage our linemen to attend the Combined Middle School/High School Lineman Camp on Saturday, June 13 at 10:00 AM. This will be a great opportunity for players to develop their skills, receive quality instruction, and prepare for the upcoming season.
A reminder that all student-athletes must have a current VHSL physical on file before participating in workouts unless they participated in a school sport during the previous season and already have a valid physical on file with the school.
Please make sure your child stays hydrated, wears appropriate workout attire, and arrives on time. We are looking forward to a great summer as we prepare for the upcoming football season!

Whether you graduated last year or decades ago, Homecoming is a time to reconnect with old friends, share memories, celebrate traditions, and create new ones. We are excited to welcome ALL Tigers back home for an afternoon filled with fellowship, laughter, school spirit, and the pride that comes with being part of the Tiger family.
Bring your stories, your memories, and your Tiger pride as we come together to celebrate the past, present, and future of Sussex Central.

As we prepare for the final day of school tomorrow, I want to thank each of you for your continued support throughout this school year. Your partnership has played an important role in the success of our students.
Attendance remains very important through the very last day. Although tomorrow is the last day of school, it is still an official school day, and students need to attend. We want every student present to end the school year together and celebrate all that they have accomplished.
Please note that any student who is absent tomorrow will still have the absence recorded in their attendance record.
Thank you again for your support, encouragement, and commitment to Sussex Central Elementary School. We hope everyone has a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer break!
With appreciation,
Mr. Councill
