Cherokee County School District’s top young singers recently performed with the district’s 2025 Elementary School Honor Chorus! The annual program this spring invited 115 select students, who included representatives from all of CCSD’s 23 elementary schools, for a day of learning and performance at Reinhardt University.
The Cherokee County School Board on Thursday, March 20, 2024 reviewed the Superintendent’s recommended budget for next school year, which invests more funding in teachers and resources that directly support student learning, while holding the millage rate steady.
Six Cherokee County School District students won statewide honors at the Georgia Student Technology Competition! The annual contest invites students in grades 3-12 to create projects in a range of real-world technology industry categories such as mobile apps, robotics, and video production.
The Cherokee County School District’s proposed budget for next school year invests more funding in teachers and resources that directly support student learning, while holding the millage rate steady. Proposed improvements include more competitive compensation for teachers and staff directly supporting students, advancing school safety and security, and upgrading instructional resources and classroom supplies for teachers and students.
It’s School Board Appreciation Week, and we’re so grateful for our amazing Cherokee County School Board! A high-performing school district begins with a high-performing school board … and our board is incredibly dedicated to elevating the excellence in its governance. Each day this week, we will share one School Board member’s thoughts on three questions.
