We’re seeking outstanding teachers and other certified staff to join our team for next school year! Please register now for CCSD’s Job Fair on Saturday, March 7.
In celebration of today's observance of National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day, join us as we thank and honor our CCSD Police Officers! Thank you to our school police officers for your dedication to ensuring our students receive the best education possible in safe and secure schools.
The Cherokee County School Board at its regular meeting on Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026, heard reports of work already underway to prepare for next school year, including investing in more competitive pay for teachers and support staff, opening the new replacement Cherokee High School on time and within budget, and allocating resources to ensure every middle school student has access to a laptop computer as the first step in expanding access for all students.
Forty-one Cherokee County School District students are advancing to the Georgia Student Technology Competition! CCSD students earned the opportunity to compete in the statewide event next month by winning first place in the recently held Piedmont Regional Technology Competition.
Please check out the February edition of the CCSD Connections newsletter online here, which features CCSD news and information, including the announcement of our four CCSD Teacher of the Year finalists, information about School Choice Month and school reassignment requests for next school year, resources for parents, and much more. Thank you to our newsletter sponsor, Credit Union of Georgia, a CCSD Partner.
“Avery’s success is attributed to the solid instructional practices of our teachers,” Avery Elementary School Principal Dr. Lisa Turner said. Congratulations to Avery ES for its impressive 97.0 score for Progress (up almost 5 points from last year) and scores above 90 in Content Mastery and Readiness – verifying that students are learning more and growing more in our classrooms than they could anywhere else -- on Georgia’s College and Career Ready Performance Index statewide accountability system.
