Panther Creek State Park, covering approximately 1,435 acres, is located on the shores of Cherokee Reservoir, an impoundment of the Holston River. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is located about 45 miles south.
Legend has it that both Panther Creek and Panther Springs, located about 1 1/2 miles southeast of the park, received their names from the claim of a Colonel Bradley of Virginia who, while exploring the area, shot a panther that fell into the spring.

All Saints' Episcopal School, which was known as All Saints' Day School for the first thirty-three years of its existence, was established in 1967 by church parishioners, who were seeking an education alternative for their children. At the time, there were no public pre-schools or kindergartens for their children, so they set out to create their own. The parents met at the house of Sara Gose, and developed the first plans for a school, and later implemented their ideas under Father Jim Patrick's supervision. At first, All Saints' was only a preschool for three and four-year olds, expanding to include a five year old program one year later in 1968.
As requests for higher grades increased over the years, All Saints' Day School added a first grade in 1985. Two years later, in 1987, the school expanded to include second, third, and fourth grades. This growth sparked the acquisition of the Boxmoor campus. At this time, Father Charles Roberts was the headmaster. After the move to Boxmoor, one grade was added each year until a full complement of eight grades was reached, in 1992.
Once again parents and staff began dreaming of an additional school expansion. Early in 1998, land for a new building was purchased and the building campaign "On Good Ground" was begun to raise money for a building that might eventually house students from pre-school through twelfth grade.
The students who currently attend All Saints' Episcopal School are very thankful to the parents of the 60's who vision was made a reality. We also look forward to the next phase of All Saints' development
Begun as a preschool program, All Saints' Episcopal School's reputation for achieving consistently high academic results and producing confident enthusiastic learners created a demand for additional grade levels through 8th grade.
