INDEPENDENCE — Steve Cornett, director of instruction and assessment for the Grayson County School System, gave the school board some welcome news at its Oct. 10 meeting.
Cornett said all schools in the system are fully accredited and met all Standards of Learning (SOL) standards for the 2011-12 school year, as set by the Virginia Department of Education.
It was the second consecutive year for the accreditation, which was based on data from the 2010-11 school year.

Devon Lineberry-Jennings and Zach Austin were crowned homecoming queen and king at Carroll County's game against Grayson County on Sept. 23.
