Today, Friday, May 15, 2026, the hallways of Evans County Schools were filled with a special kind of magic. Our seniors donned their graduation regalia and took their final walk through the schools that helped shape them into the young men and women they are today.
As they marched through the halls, they weren't just walking for themselves—they were walking for the elementary students who gave them high-fives and the middle schoolers who looked up with wide eyes. This tradition serves as a powerful reminder of what hard work and perseverance look like.
Why the Hall Walk matters:
Inspiring the Next Generation: Younger Tigers get to see exactly what their goal is.
A "Thank You" to Teachers: It’s a chance for former teachers to see how much their "little ones" have grown.
The Final Countdown: Tomorrow, these same students will cross Veterans Memorial Field as graduates!
Congratulations to the Class of 2026. You’ve left your mark on these halls, and we can’t wait to see you lead the way tomorrow! 🐯🖤💛

At CHS, we know that it takes a village to support our students, and we have one of the best "villages" around! We want to send a massive THANK YOU to Mr. Edward Carter, owner of the Claxton Dairy Queen, for his incredible generosity.
To celebrate our students who successfully completed their Edgenuity classes this Spring semester, Mr. Carter donated a feast of hamburgers and cheeseburgers for our end-of-semester celebration!
A special shout-out to the team that made it happen:
Mr. Edward Carter: For his continued investment in our students' success.
Mrs. Amy McManama (Dairy Queen District Manager): For her expert help with the logistics and making sure everything ran smoothly.
The DQ Staff: To the hardworking employees who cooked and prepared every delicious burger—thank you!
Mr. Carter and Mrs. Amy are long-time supporters of Evans County Schools, and their commitment to our Tigers is truly appreciated. Thank you for helping us celebrate our students' academic achievements in such a tasty way! 🐯🖤💛

What an incredible week! 🌟 We just wrapped up a non-stop celebration for our amazing educators at CMS. From channeling our inner 90-year-olds to being spoiled with a "Menu of Champions," our staff felt the love every single day.
Here’s how we fueled the best team in the business:
Day 1: Dressing like 90-year-olds for the Golden Age Beauty Pageant 👵👑 (The "gray hair" was temporary, but the laughs lasted all week!)
Day 2: The Snack Cart made its rounds 🥨
Day 3: A classic Pizza Lunch to power through the midweek hump 🍕
Day 4: Breakfast is Served to start the day right 🍳
Day 5: The Grand Finale Lunch Buffet Meal 🥗
Our teachers give 100% to our students every day, so we made sure they spent this week with 100% full bellies and even fuller hearts. Huge thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate—we might have looked 90 on Monday, but we’re feeling more energized than ever! ❤️📚
