Claxton High School, accredited by the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools, has a long tradition of excellence in academics and
extra-curricular activities. With the rollout of Georgia Performance
Standards
the rigor of the academic program for all students is elevated; thus, the
primary goal of Claxton High School is to improve student learning. This goal
is achieved by promoting academic excellence, bringing parents together with
teachers and administrators through the Career Action Planning program (CAPs),
and offering instructional programs that address the needs of students and
faculty. Claxton High School utilizes a
Pyramid of Intervention
to ensure that individualized and specific interventions are used to
permit greater access to grade level achievement standards.
Offering a 4x4 block schedule enables students to focus on
fewer courses at one time while completing more courses during the school year.
Qualified students have the opportunity to participate in the Accel program and
the Dual-Enrollment programs earning both high school and college credits
simultaneously. As a High Schools That Work Tech/Prep School, we offer
challenging and exciting technical and career preparatory courses in
Construction, Agricultural Education, Family and Consumer Science, and
Business.
Students are also afforded the opportunity to excel
outside the classroom through our many clubs and athletic teams. The wide
variety of clubs, along with the club schedule designed so that three or more
clubs meet each week, enables more students to participate and promote Claxton
High School through expositions and competitions. Claxton High School Tiger
Pride is evidenced by our competitive football, softball, cross country,
basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, and track teams which have won regional and
state championships. The Claxton High School Tiger Marching Band consistently
receives superior and excellent ratings in competitions and festivals. The
Claxton High School Drama Team has successfully competed in regional and state
events.
The faculty and staff of Claxton High School show Tiger
Pride and commitment to bettering our students by their willingness to sponsor
clubs, coach teams, supervise field trips, and serve as CAPs advisors for the
over 500 students enrolled. We are a student-focused school, and our
determination to succeed is unmistakable.
