By order of the Governor, flags over the State Capitol and all State office buildings will be lowered to half-staff, from 10:11am until sunset today, March 27, 2024, in honor of the six victims lost a year ago today during the tragic events at the Covenant School.

Governor Lee issued the following statement: “One year ago, The Covenant School experienced one of the most tragic and heartbreaking events in our state’s history. There are no words adequate enough to describe the immeasurable pain and sorrow of the families. Tennessee has been forever changed, and yet our hope is that through that change, along with the prayers of millions, there will be redemption through this great tragedy. Maria and I join many Tennesseans in lifting up the Covenant community in prayer.”
