Please check out the back-to-school edition of our CCSD Connections newsletter online here, which includes an overview of what’s new this school year, important checklist information to help families prepare for the first day of school on Aug. 3, the link to our annual Class Act magazine, and much more. We can't wait to welcome our students back to learn more, grow more, and achieve more in our classrooms than they could anywhere else! Thank you to this month's newsletter sponsor, Credit Union of Georgia, a CCSD Partner. #CCSDElevateTheExcellence #CCSD1stDay2026
The Cherokee County School Board at its regular meeting on Thursday, June 18, 2026, took the next step toward adopting a five-year community-inspired strategic plan including projects to be funded by the proposed renewal of the Education-SPLOST.
Feedback from parents, employees, students, and community members informed the Elevate 2032 long-range strategic plan and the 1% Ed-SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) project list presented to the Board on Thursday.
Cherokee County School District students won gold in the statewide Summer Special Olympics, and a team is advancing to the USA Games to compete nationally this month! Cherokee County Special Olympics’ soccer team earned gold and student athletes earned individual gold medals in cheer, soccer, swimming, and track competitions at the 2026 State Summer Games recently held at Emory University.
Congratulations to the Cherokee County School District’s Class of 2026! You now can see the names of our graduating seniors on our website at https://tinyurl.com/CCSD2026
